I’ve been trying to figure it out for months, can someone enlighten me.

[Cabbage]

I’ve tried several times to compile ispell for SquirrelMail on 10.1 and 10.2. I could never get it to work.

[Cabbage]

I pretty much figured that out but don’t you think it’s kind of confusing. If it’s the network tag [i:6e86da4682]shouldn’t[/i:6e86da4682] it be called network?

[Cabbage]

Well it should be a complaint…it took forever. I tried to get them before Xmas but he couldn’t get them done. Then he has a 3 week vacation and then it took another couple weeks. At least you’re getting the color one…i only got B & W.

Well onto this LDAP stuff.
Why did you add a new directory called contacts? When I did this I just added new properties inside the users directory. Here are a couple emails from the MAc Server Mailing List. I did get it to display all 100+ users on the server in Workgroup Manager….then I started added more stuff to mine…i have to go back and play some more with it.

Your message peaked my interest in this again so I tried to set it up and have gotten a little further than last time. I still have many questions though which are in parenthesis.

I have a G4 running OS X Server 10.2.3 with Open Directory enabled. There are about 125 users already on the machine. I open up Directory Access, check LDAPv3 and click configure.
I click New and give it a name, put in the IP address of the server, then click on the Search & Mappings tab. Here I choose Open Directory Server (am I suppose to use this or From Server??). I leave the search base blank (am I suppose to put something here?). I do NOT click on Write to Server (am I supposed to click it?) I click OK then quit Directory Assistant.

Now over to a G4 running OS X 10.2.3.
I open Address Book go to Preferences > LDAP.
I click add, give it a name, server I set to the IP address of the above G4. Search Base I leave blank since I don’t know what that is. Port is 389 and Scope is Subtree (I find that none of the other scopes give me any results in my searches). I click Save and close the preferences.

Now in address book I click Directories > All. In the search I type my first name Craig

The results are
Name | Email | Phone
Craig Kabis | |
Craig Vectrum | |

I go back to the G4 running server and open up NetInfo Manager and go to Users > ckabis. I add a few new properties.

Property | Value(s)
mail | [email protected]
o | Imtech Graphics
street | 890 Arcade Way
postalAddress | East Rutherford, NJ
postalCode | 07077
telephonenumber | 212-534-4564 x456
apple-user-picture | /Library/User Pictures/Animals/Butterfly.tif
givenName | Craig
sn | Kabis

OK to update the copy and quit NetInfo Manager. I go back to the client G4 and do the search again in Address Book.

The results are
Name | Email | Phone
Kabis Craig | [email protected] | 212-534-4564 x456
Craig Vectrum | |

I drag me over on top of All under Group and I get sucked into there.
It says
Kabis Craig

My picture is not displayed, neither is the city and state and my name is backwards (Why didn’t these get grabbed from the LDAP server?)[/quote:d7ddf170f7]

Then mactroll answered with this…i still don’t get the Will Robinson thing…i’m guess i’m too young to understand it 😕

Ohh, Danger Will Robinson!!

Don’t use Directory Access, instead use Open Directory Assistant to set your server up as an LDAP server. Directory Access is used for directory services and really isn’t related to setting up a shared address book. However it seems that your server was already correctly configured.

>>Now over to a G4 running OS X 10.2.3.
>>I open Address Book go to Preferences > LDAP.
Now you are back on the right track.

>>My picture is not displayed, neither is the city and state and my name
>>is backwards (Why didn’t these get grabbed from the LDAP server?)
I’m not sure what AddressBook actually pulls back from the LDAP server. I was happy enough with telepone number and e-mail and didn’t go farther than that. If AddressBook actually asks for it but doesn’t get it then it’s probably just a simple schema mapping issue to get ironed out.

I’m currently toying with some of the web interfaces to LDAP that will allow you to add/remove addresses from the database. I haven’t had enough time to get anything to work as well as I would like it yet, but all the pieces seem to be there.

still waiting for a printed copy to arrive
I mailed it this week 😳

Look in the admin guide PDF. There are a lists of ports used in the index

[Cabbage]

I was playing around with NFS and automounts last nite so i figured I’d try the article.

I have the same domains as you

NetInfo/root
NetInfo/DefaultLocalNode

–NetInfo/root
There are about 150 users in this domain

–NetInfo/DefaultLocalNode
Has the account I used to setup the server and another administrative account

I was getting the DNS error that it says in the article but I was able to fix it (i’m not sure how). I am able to login as and have a NHF for a user that is in NetInfo/root. I have another user that is in both domains. The NHF shows up but I can’t write anything to it.

The built in FTP Server – wu-ftp acts like this too.

Did you use any materials to study from?

Just have to get my company to cough up the dought so I can take the test.

Well I’m kinda stumped with Radmind right now. The video at macosxlabs.org shows a Radmind Server GUI that I can’t seem to find. I emailed radmin.org and they tell me it is in the Session menu of Radmind Assistant. It’s none of the three options I have.

[Cabbage]

Actual I’ll retract this post. Bombich’s Carbon Copy Cloner and NetRestore are awesome. Add that to Radmind and it’s incredible. With the new Admin Guide from Apple that came out in December there is actually some information on how to use Network Install and NetBoot. I have performed a Network Install successfully but no luck with NetBoot yet. I don’t think I am going to bother. Network Install + Radmind should solve my problems and be quicker in transferring an image since it only updates what has changed and not the entire image.

[Cabbage]

Install all necessary updates (god, starting to sound like Windoze…)

This is actually pretty easy to get around. Take a spare HD and format. Install a clean OS with all the updates. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner to make an ASR ready disc image. Use NetRestore on a new hard drive….takes about FOUR minutes using NetRestore!!!

I do the same thing on Windows using Norton Ghost but that takes longer since you have to reboot a few times for it to recognize new devices that were different from the original ghost image

[Cabbage]

I had a broken MySQL Manager also.

Read [url=https://www.afp548.com/eBBS/viewtopic.php?t=160&highlight=mysql]this thread[/url] on how I solved it.

[Cabbage]

I think this has to do with MacBinary

You can edit the ftp config file and change the setting

[Cabbage]

Norton Personal Firewall, there is also one built in to 10.2 Server
