Turns out I misunderstood the problem. No network accounts could authenticate on the machine, only the mobile account could. That was due to time synch problem. Sync the local machine and AD, and everything works.

Oh. This is interesting.

Instead of rebooting, I chose shut down this time (after selecting Boot_RAID in the Startup prefpane).

It paused for a while on “updating boot caches”, then when I restarted, everything is well.

Curious.

Yeah, I started that thread too. 😉

I found a workaround via the mac-os-x-Server list:

This will tell SMB to disregard ACL’s. I’m sure there must be some drawback to that, however. But it does make the server useful for Windows clients, which is better than it is now.

Is running as root new in 10.5?

[Steve3]

Well, I guess that means either
-we both made the same configuration error
or
-there’s something wrong with SMB on 10.5 Server.
