Allowing Remote Users to Ask for Permission

When a remote user wishes to connect to your computer using a service you have
not granted to Guest Users, the user may request permission to connect. Granting
services to Ask for Permission users makes it possible for remote users to request
that service on a one-time basis. When the user requests permission, you can
choose whether or not to admit them.

Remote users may ask for permission to connect to your computer by beginning a
Timbuktu Pro connection using the desired service. The Log In dialog box opens.

After the remote user selects Ask for Permission and clicks OK, an alert is dis-
played on your computer that identifies the user and the desired service.

Click OK if you want to allow the connection.
