ParticipantI had two strange issues when I did my 10.5 to 10.6 upgrade. I had a backup of my 10.5 Server. It is running AFP, DNS, Open Directory, and SMB. I erased the hard drive and installed 10.6 clean, when the migration assistant came up I selected my backup and it migrated my settings over.
Once things came up in 10.6 I checked things over and all looked well. All my settings and users had transferred over, their home directories are on a SAS connected RAID and shared out over AFP.
So I went to a 10.6 client machine and tried to log in and got an error, “can’t login at this time… an error occured”
So I tried a 10.5 client machine and got the same error.
On both machine I removed the server from Directory Utility and re-added it, it connects fine with a green light. But still can’t log in.
I check the Open Directory settings and LDAP, Password Server, and Kerberos are all running and the LDAP search Base and Kerberos Realm look correct.
I reboot the server to see if it is just some weirdness, but even after a reboot I can’t log in from a client workstation.
SO I boot back off the 10.5 backup and all goes back to working normally.
So I clone 10.5 onto the boot drive and run a straight upgrade on it, unfortunately it had exactly the same problem. So I am stuck at 10.5 till I can figure out what is causing the OD login issue.
On a side note when booted into 10.6 Server, if I tried to do screen sharing to the server from 10.6 client or another 10.6 server bonjour screen sharing would not work nor would the short DNS name. I could only connect using the fully qualified DNS name or the IP address. Yet I could do AFP, ssh, etc using bonjour name or short DNS name. If I did screen sharing from 10.5 client or server to 10.6 Server everything worked normally???

ParticipantSolved it by archiving the OD database, settings up OD from scratch on 10.6 and restoring everyone from the archive.
The screen sharing thing is weird as it seems that sometimes it works normally and sometimes not. Seems to be a bug in the ARD client. If you use ARD you can connect fine, but Screen Sharing fails over bonjour.
