    With my very limited experience I am trying to solve a problem in OSX 10.4 server. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    This system serves user data via open directory to several users. The services are working fine but I cannot login to the console. After rebooting the “Starting Mac OSX Server” window appears (takes a long time to show up though) and the bar progresses to the end but it gets stuck there and the login window never shows up.

    I can ssh into the system and looking at the system.log I see the loginwindow is crashing:

    Apr 10 03:15:59 cysteine crashdump[3548]: loginwindow crashed
    Apr 10 03:15:59 cysteine launchd: /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow port /dev/console exited abnormally: Trace/BPT trap
    Apr 10 03:15:59 cysteine crashdump[3548]: crash report written to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/loginwindow.crash.log
    Apr 10 03:15:59 cysteine crashdump[3550]: loginwindow crashed

    The logwindow.crash.log shows:

    Host Name: Cysteine
    Date/Time: 2009-04-10 12:51:08.087 -0700
    OS Version: 10.4.11 (Build 8S169)
    Report Version: 4

    Command: loginwindow
    Path: /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow
    Parent: launchd [1]

    Version: 4.7 (4.7)

    PID: 7071
    Thread: Unknown

    Link (dyld) error:

    Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AFPDefines.framework/Versions/A/AFPDefines
    Referenced from: /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow
    Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AFPDefines.framework/Versions/A/AFPDefines: unknown file type, first eight bytes: 0x4F 0x63 0x74 0x2F 0x32 0x30 0x30 0x38

    I then looked at the AFPDefines file type, which turned out to be text. However, in my non-server Mac running Tiger this file is is a “Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc”

    Tried Googling AFPDefine and related searches but cannot figure our what this is (seems to be a library but where can I get it?). I also went back to the OSX server install disk but the AFPDefines.framework does not exist there….

    ANY HELP woudl be greatly appreciated.
