Thanks MacTroll for the answer

Its a 10.5.1 Server built in Advanced mode. Its up and running well after a few rounds of fight. I need Kerberos for adding security in VPN access.

In my first attempt, Ive been using the internet name of the company ex. pretendco.com. I end up setting with the .local because of messing up with the company’s external web site and e-mail accounts (when a user got a IP from the server and try to reach the company’s web site on the Internet, the server responds first. I guess it needs a record in the DNS).

1. Is there a way of implement the Kerberos with the .local string?

2. Is there an easy way to change the domain name (Last Solution) and not destroy all the services running? (changeip maybe).

Thanks

Well, the MakeMacWork article was what I was looking for. Here in Greece, we dont have any sort of info for the Apple Servers, (there is no Apple Training Center) except the Apple Manuals and the books. Since any book for 10.5 Server is not published yet, Im looking for the best info I can get.

Thanks very much

Well OK. It worked (the Create Home Now). I stopped and started over the AFP service.

Yes I did. Even though it is very well written, it describes “vanilla” situations, where everything is going pretty cool and nothing bad is happening. When I say step by step, I mean from a advanced user point of view.

Thanks

Thanks for taking time

Well, the network home folder is set up using the \\server\share\folder convention. Ive tried also the “Connect to” (drive letter) blahblah…

I have tried using smb.

The only thing I will try is to set the Authentication from any domain to Disabled.

There is no proxy set up, so I guess I dont need the Proxy conf.

Ill get back. Thank you.

Thanks for the answer.

Ive tried all the binding methods. With all methodes I can bind successfuly, but the home folder is always created in the client machine.
