Tiger Client hang when logging in and sometimes out of 10.4 Server

[Anonymous]

Hello,

We have a lab full of emacs. Lately many of them will hang when a student logs into their home account. The computer hangs at the desktop and usually show part of the spotlight search bar.

Quite frequently one of the machines will hang upon logging out as well. This will then cause many or all of the other emac to hang at the blue screen on log out.

Thanks mucho!

We experienced the same problem until we got our LDAPv3 binding straightened out. You may have a different problem but I suspect it is stiil related to binding. The clients were 10.4.2 and the LDAP server 10.3.9. We serve out the binding information via DHCP and it turned out 10.4 clients did not like the way 10.3 DHCP did it. In order to work around it we had to go to each client’s directory access utility and configure the LDAPv3 binding manually. I have no idea what is different between doing it manually and letting DHCP do it but that cured the problem. We will be migrating to a 10.4 server next weekend and DHCP binding works fine there so we have to go back and undo all that.
