Refresh/Load MCX Client settings in Leopard

[ruckerz]

Does anyone have documentation on the transition from mcxd.app to ManagedClient.app? I’m trying to trouble shoot why my netboot clients aren’t picking up mcx settings. The short of the problem is that Im using startupItems to dsconfigldap to the server and I think I need to refresh the settings after the ldap trusted bind.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. I tracked the problem to the LocalHostName being redefined in the boot process. I’ve issued a scutil –set LocalHostname in a StartupItem that has no ‘Requires’ field. By boottime, it seems that OS X has reissued the LocalHostName. However I can’t find out when it occurs from the system.log. Is there a Requires that I can issue that makes sure my StartupItem runs just before loginwindow?
