Apple recently rolled out a security update patch for macOS High Sierra to fix the 'root' security bug, but the update has borked file sharing for some. Here's the fix!
The recent "root" vulnerability in macOS High Sierra made waves recently because of its wide-reaching security issue. Apple quickly released a security update to fix the issue in record time, but in its haste, may have accidentally caused an annoying, though not security related, bug for some people attempting to file share on Mac. If you are trying to share files on your Mac after installing the security update, Apple has published a help document to fix the issue. Here are the steps.
If you experience issues with authenticating or connecting to file shares on your Mac after you install Security Update 2017-001 for macOS High Sierra 10.13.1, follow these steps to repair file sharing:
