Clients can’t login to server

[justyn.pride]

I have a server that I have set up as a open directory master. I’ve set a number of 10.4 servers up, and had no problems in the past. This one seems to have problems allowing clients to login.

DNS is up and running properly, and is resolving both ways. Open Directory is set to be the Master (I should note that someone else initially setup the server, and I found Open Directory to be running as master, but with our DNS, or anything else running). Having put it back to standalone, set up DNS properly, restarting, and then promoting OD to master, and restarting.

So I have set up the Home directories, and create a test client. The home directory for the client works fine, and if I log in as the client on the xserve itself the log in works fine.

However the issues comes when wanting to login via another machine. In directory access I have successfully added the IP address for the server in the LDAPv3 services. The ‘Other’ box appears when you start up the machine. However it won’t allow the client to login to their home directory, although if connecting via the local admin account on the laptop I can connect to the server via Connect to Server.

This is very frustrating. Has anyone any helpful comments / solutions?
