Netinfo questions

[stmoddell]

Howdy,

I’ve got an OSX server 10.28 running as my main user server. I’d like to have other servers OSX/Solaris9/Debian3 use my primary OSX server for users, but not sure how to go about that.

I’ve pointed the second OSX server at the primary netinfo server, and I get a 127.0.0.1 netinfo db not found error on boot. So I can’t log into that machine as a user.

I’m pretty sure that with solaris and debian I’ll need to futz with OpenDirectory or some such, but want to sort netinfo to netinfo first.

thanks

I’d hold off until Panther Server next week. Panther uses LDAP for Open Directory. NetInfo is still availble but it is now a legacy option. LDAP is pretty simple to setup on Linux so it should be much easier.

Ah, well that assumes I can get Panther Server. It is a tough sell as my managers are not happy with how “difficult” 10.2 was to get to function, and its limitations were more than they had expected. Trying to get them to spend to get new version, which I’m sure will fix most of their concerns , is not going well.
