I have about 30 macs using local accounts, with separate logins for our fileserver. I'm looking to migrate them to portable home directories, but want to maintain the local accounts for awhile in case of emergency. Problem is, the shortnames for the local and server accounts are all identical (first initial-last name), and my custom search policy seems to stop when it finds that the password (for the OD account) doesn't match the one for the local account.
I think I read somewhere that it's supposed to continue on to search the LDAP directory domain, but I can't figure out where I saw that. Is that true? Logging in using long names, or adding secondary short names to the server accounts doesn't circumvent the issue. My server is running 10.4.3 and clients are mixed 10.3.9 and 10.4.3; the problem exists on both kinds of clients though. Any suggestions? TIA
