Ok, worked it out. For some reason I couldn’t do this via the System Preferences. However running the following command worked as expected…

sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/ManagedClient.app/Contents/Resources/createmobileaccount -vsn username -h /Users/username

Hope that helps anyone else having this problem.

Cheers,

🙂 Ah ha – that would explain things. Thanks.

Having said that, how do I specify this? Following on from your pointer, I just went to System Prefs -> Accounts and to my network account. Clicked on the lock to make changes, but the Mobile Account button is grayed out.

I logged on as root and did the same thing, but it can’t see my Network account at all.

Cheers,

Thanks for the suggestions; given Zimbra is not something I wanted to mess with too greatly, I thought I would see if Leopard fixed the problems – and indeed – it now appears to work.

So I assume that 10.4. doesn’t support SSHA salted passwords, but that 10.5 does.

Cheers,
David
