We're having a little bit of a problem here at the school district I work at.
When we add the 10.3.5 machines to the NetInfo directory we have being served by a Mac OS X 10.2.8 Server. We can log in but get the error
"You are unable to log in to the user account "XYZ" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred. The home folder for the user account is located on an AFP or SMB server. Contact your system administrator for help."
We called Apple and they more or less told us it was a general error. And they couldn't help us.
Trying to connect directly(afp://server/Users/XYZ)
to the home folder in the Finder produces this error
"Connecting to afp://server/Users/XYZ/ ... The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://server/Users/XYZ/" could not be read or written. (Error Code -36)"
But if we connect just to afp://server then we can navigate to Users and XYZ and be able to read and write to it like normal.
So anyone have any ideas? Its quite frustrating. One idea that was thought up is that the hubs and switches aren't passing the packets correctly. But I tried just plugging the two machines directly into each other. And got the same results as above.
