No, at least I was never able to get it to work nor was anyone here able to help me. Use ‘dscl’ from your php page.

I’m not quite sure how a subnet factors into changeip, nor what a 5-octect format is.

[/QUOTE]

When I set up my classless subnet zone in /etc/named.conf using 5 octets it looks like this:
[code]
zone “128.55.158.72.in-addr.arpa” IN {
type master;
file “db.72.158.55”;
};
[/code]
As opposed to my original format (but this is an issue with the way my ISP was pulling the zone not an incorrect format):
[code]
zone “128-27.55.158.72.in-addr.arpa” IN {
type master;
file “db.72.158.55”;
};
[/code]
Apple’s ‘changeip’ cannot handle the way ‘dig’ returns the reverse anwer and produces an error saying “The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.” Of course there is nothing broken in DNS, the entry (either one actually) is legitimate for a subnet. When the network is incorrectly changed to a full class C as below, ‘changeip’ is happy:
[code]
zone “55.158.72.in-addr.arpa” IN {
type master;
file “db.72.158.55”;
};
[/code]

I finally got some help from another source on this. I case anyone is interested it turns out that the difference was in the way our ISP was pulling the zone. The format was changed to a 5 octet format instead of the dash format. It turns out that Apple seems unable to understand classless subnets. There apparenlty is a bug in ‘changeip’ that cannot handle anything less then a full class c network. It was the incorrect output from ‘changeip’ that precipitated my messing with the DNS zone files in the first place.

I’m afraid your description is a little confusing, to me any way. Where do you expect users to show up in server admin? If you are talking about the account tab in mail maintenance, they won’t show up there until they have actually received mail even though they have a mail folder in imap. That is an Apple GUI thing as opposed to a Unix thing. Under the covers OS X is Unix and behaves exactly as you would expect as a Linux admin. However, the admin GUI is from Apple. Some aspects of server admin is lacking and in some cases buggy but in the area you should be looking it is fine. I am confused by your reference to creating folders. Where are they doing that and where do you expect to see them? You can’t be talking about the imap directory so could you clarify what you mean?

Thanks. I finally got it. The original problem was related to postfix refusing to use the hostname but rather using localhost.localhost. Even after I got the hostname fixed with ‘changeip’ it still would not use the correct hostname. It turned out that that particular change required postfix to be stopped rather then reloaded. What I don’t get is why a reboot didn’t accomplish the same thing.

[gw1500se]

One other thought. You only need to do this once rather then each time the user logs in. The alias will be permanent unless you delete (‘rm’) it when the user logs off.

If I understand what you want, you need to do the following:

ln -s “/volumes/mac HD” “~/Desktop/mac HD”

Save yourself some headaches and get iTools. That is the only way I was able to get SSL working. iTools includes its own implementation of Apache which works.

Please provide more detail, like some html code.

Does the script work correctly from the command line? It is not clear what you expect the script to do. It looks like you are trying to create a symbolic link to the hard drive in the user’s home directory and calling it ‘Desktop’. That directory normally already exists for every user. I must be missing something?

[gw1500se]

We have a similar set up and have not encountered any problems. Do you have something specific that concerns you?

[gw1500se]

I believe what he was referring to is to use Applications -> Utilities -> Netinfo Manager. Select config -> mcx_cache then click Delete (you may have to unlock it first). Reboot the machine.

Did you run WGM on the server or remotely? You need to run WGM remotely and set up the preferences that way. Running WGM on the server does not get the correct path for logged in users.

[gw1500se]

Never mind. I finally found something. If anyone is interested:

Thanks for the reply. I don’t see any reason why not, its all public anyway.

Here’s the named.conf entry:
[code]
zone “128-26.55.158.72.in-addr.arpa” IN {
type master;
file “db.72.158.55.dev”;
};
[/code]
Here’s the zone file ‘db.72.158.55.dev’:
