Mysterious Unbinding Problem

[htdefiant]

Hello AFP,
I have this problem that is occurring on MacBooks around campus. So far, it has not shown up on any of our desktops or MacBook Pros. We put a Bombich hack on this years image that displays some configuration items at the login screen – for example, if network accounts are available. If they are, there is a green light next to “Network Accounts”. The problem is, sometimes when the light is green, login still won’t work. When logged in as a local user, I can see that the MacBook has been unbound from the domain, but obviously I have not made any changes to its configuration. What do you think the problem is?

Thanks

I have only seen this on wireless clients, which might be part of the problem, seeing as Apple doesn’t support wireless binding. We aren’t doing “authenticated bind”, just pointing our clients (via Directory Access) to a standard Open Directory LDAP. The only way I’ve been able to solve this problem is by going into Directory Access and re-adding the entry, which for some reason disappears.
