Yesterday when I left, I was able to do this:

dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 list /Users

Now I get this:

list: Invalid Path

So I took a look with dscl and I see that the path has changed from /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 to /LDAPv3/10.70.1.135 (this is the IP of the server). The only thing that has changed between then and now is that one of our DNS servers did not have a PTR record for the server, so I added it. This was one of the DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf.

I am horrified and mystified. No one can log in. Has anyone else ever seen this before? Any ideas as to what causes it? More importantly, how to fix things such that it NEVER happens again?

Thank you,

Erin

If you go into Directory Access on the sever how is it bound to itself?

It is not bound to itself, but the entry in Directory Access.app yesterday displayed the loopback and this morning it displayed /LDAPv3/10.70.1.135.

I think I have found some clues:
```
     host:~ root# changeip -checkhostname

     Primary address     = 10.70.1.135

     Current HostName    = host
     DNS HostName        = host.domain.org

     To fix the hostname please run /usr/sbin/changeip for your system with the
     appropriate directory with the following values

        /usr/sbin/changeip <node> 10.70.1.135 10.70.1.135 host host.domain.org

     example:

        /usr/sbin/changeip /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 10.70.1.135 10.70.1.135 host host.domain.org
```
And this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303495

So the mystery now is how the os installed sets the hostname to just host and OD appears to want it to be set to host.domain.org. There is no such thing as a reverse lookup that just returns the hostname without the domain appended, afaik.

Also mysterious is how these mappings changed when I wasn’t looking (and probably asleep) but I have yet to find a log of exactly when and how this transpired.

This is what’s tripping me up. The reverse DNS lookup is good. OS X Server just seems to want /bin/hostname to return the FQDN.

Curiouser and curiouser.
