Software Update Server in Leopard pooched?

[lunatica]

Dear All,

I’ve setup the Update Server in Leopard Server for our client and it worked flawlessly. Now for some reason i don’t know, the client Macs can access the server but get no new updates displayed. The scan of the client on the server is very quick, too quick and the error logs show this on LeoServer:

: swupd_syncd failed with SUCatalogLoaderException: We’ve been foiled by the SUCatalogLoader: no local display name. Drat.\n

Any idea? Would be great.

Thanks,

Alex

I’ve seen this on a couple of sites now and I think it’s down to swupd not being able to utilise any web proxy settings set within Mac OS X.

This seems like a silly mistake by Apple… swupd should route through the proxies as defined in Network pane. So what can we do to get it to go out through this while we wait for Apple to fix this?

Please post when there is a resolution for this. I’m experiencing the same issue and don’t see that it’s fixed yet. Thanks, Mg
