I'm sure.

Incidentally, there seems to be a bug in File Sharing.

I configured one Mac on a (different company's) network so that one volume
had nothing checked (no see, read or write) even for the owner when
accessing remotely. This wasn't for any security reasons, just to avoid
confusing people with an irrelevant volume. Yet the volume still showed up
on the network.
