Have looked around and haven't found an answer. Odd issue where I am consistently losing access to shared directories. Works for a while (up to a day) then freaks and loses permissions. Can't find a way to manually auth, so requires a reboot of the VM. Trying these steps now, but wondering if this is something anyone else is seeing. http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=706251 Timojhen
