Terminal Services aren’t available but you can automount an Applications folder in Network. You need to install the apps on the server and then all the client Mac would be able to use them.

[code:1:a1de4b51da] need is /Volumes to be "visible" to the finder [/code:1:a1de4b51da]

Open this file in a text editor
[b:a1de4b51da]/.hidden[/b:a1de4b51da]

Notice the dot before the h.

For me this file looks like this
[code:1:a1de4b51da]automount
bin
cores
Desktop DB
Desktop DF
Desktop Folder
dev
etc
lost+found
mach
mach_kernel
mach.sym
opt
private
sbin
tmp
Trash
usr
var
VM Storage
Volumes
[/code:1:a1de4b51da]

Delete the last line. Save the file. Quit/Relaunch the Finder. Open a new Finder window on / and Volumes should be there.

Not really. I know I have seen it somewhere. Try googling. It walked you thru how to setup a “network” domain in NetInfo on the OS X client. And then you just had to setup Directory Access like you normally do with OS X Server and it worked.

[Cabbage]

It’s out there somewhere. I remember reading it.

[quote:5968ba586e]Like OSX itself, it’s just not ready for production use. [/quote:5968ba586e]
Ha! That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while. Maybe you just don’t know what you’re doing 😯

I’ve been using it in a production environment since May 2002. I never touched OS X before that and was comfortable within a week.

As for FileMaker have you tried beta 7?

In the LDAP Server Setting what is the timeout? I think it is 120 seconds by default. Change it to 10 seconds and try it.

Wish I had that a few weeks ago. It went pretty well but Password Server wouldn’t switch over to the new IP so I locked myself out.

If you restart the computer and just stay at the login window can you connect to the databases?

Deleted the mcx_cache in NetInfo solved the problem.

It still bothers me that I wasted 2 days trying to figure this out. I though cache was just supposed to be temporary.

I restored a partition using Panther. I was able to log in!

So what am I going to do for all the I currently have?

I tried to delete these caches
/Library/Caches
/System/Library/Caches
~/Library/Caches

and these Preferences
/Library/Preferences
~/Library/Preferences

and still I’m not able to log in.

If I give the Xserve the same IP as the G4 do you think I’ll have this problem?

[Cabbage]

I just setup Panther Server on a different Mac with a different IP. I’m using LDAP instead of NetInfo this time.

Same crap! I takes the username and password but I get cannot log into this computer.

hmmm…so something wierd is going on with the clients I guess.

[Cabbage]

I flushed the caches with Cocktail. I’m not sure if that is the right ones.

Hold option/apple/control did nothing. I know the Refresh Preferences screen you are talking about though. All my admins on network home folders get them. It says something about Workgroup Management at the top.

[Cabbage]

Panther Server has added some kind of functionality for laptops. I noticed a couple things in the new Workgroup Manager.

Create Mobile Account as login

Allow Portable User Accounts

I had a similar problem with an eMac. Change the settings on your switch/router they probably aren’t set correctly. After I did this on the eMac’s port everything was running like normal.

Does the email work from a different mail app?

Hold down the option key while launching Entourage. You’ll get a dialog box that asks you to rebuild the Entourage database. That might fix the problem.
