    I am having a problem with some (not all) of my Macs. They were running 10.2 with a static IP address. I upgraded them to 10.3.3 and changed them to DHCP (Panther server with AD active). After doing all that the ‘Other’ icon is not showing up on the login screen for some machines. Short of wiping the HD and reinstalling 10.3.3 (which I did on some already), can someone tell me why this is happening and how to fix it? TIA.

    I’ve made a discovery that might or might not be relevent and might or might not give someone a clue. I opened ‘Netinfo Manager’ on a machine that has the “Other” icon and one that doesn’t. Under ‘config’ the one with the icon has mcx_cache while the one that doesn’t has ‘AppleServer’.

    It this just another symptom like the missing “Other” icon, is this the core problem or is it irrelvent? TIA.

    I finally figured out how to correct the problem. For whatever reason, in ‘Directory Access’ the LDAPv3 configuration did not have the ‘Use DHCP supplied LDAP server’ box checked. As soon as I checked it, it was fine. However, I have no idea why it was unchecked or how it got that way.
