hello,
I just recently updated my server from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7 via a combo update. The server was a clean install of Leopard, always updated with combo updates.
I have been successfully using an account creator script to create OpenDirectory account, as well as print quota info (via tea4cups), and network shares via AFP.
Everything works great after the update, except for the sharing command I issue to share out the network storage folder. Here is an example of the command I use:
sharing -a (wherever the sharepoint is) -s 100 -g 000
This has been working perfectly for me since 10.4 through 10.5.6
Now when I do this, the share will be created, but I cannot mount it. if I do a sharing -l command, the info for the share that comes out looks exactly the same as the other shares on the system, but I will get a -6602 error when trying to connect from any other mac, tiger, leopard, intel, ppc. Server Admin even agrees that it is shared when I look at it through the GUI. It also reflects all the settings correctly through the GUI that I set via the command line sharing tool.
The strange thing is, if I create the share via the command above, then go into the Server Admin GUI, and look at the settings for the share, modify something temporarily, set it back then click SAVE, the share works perfectly! It’s as if the sharing command line tool no longer properly formats the share anymore.
has anyone else seen this behavior?
Can anyone test to see if this would work for them?
I have tried the sharing command with no special flags, and that fails as well. I will keep testing, but this seems like maybe something someone else might have seen.
thank you for any help,
nathan
