Connect to /Network/Library failing on startup

[hugohs]

A computer that was connecting to our server and mounting /Network/Library/Fonts just fine is now failing to do this consistently on startup, with the following entries in the log:

Nov 21 13:05:23 John-Does-Computer configd[32]: AppleTalk startup complete

I was able to fix this, temporarily, by deleting everything in Directory Access and re-binding the computer to the server, but on restart, we were back to square one. Once back up there was no connection again (and the log looked like the one pasted above. We then went back into Directory Access – deleted the server, reentered it and … we could see the /Network/Library again.

Any suggestions would be great.

My client is still experiencing this occasionally – and I haven’t yet found a solution… I wonder if anyone else has happened to see th is behavior anywhere?

thanks,

It’s been so long since I worked on this for them, the best I can say is “I think it’s kerberized”. Would this work at all if it weren’t? I recal “kerberinzing” it when I first setup the Network Library to share fonts. Is it possible for a server to get unkerberized?

Thanks,

Hugo
