Wow!

That worked. And it doesn’t change anything for Tiger clients (at least Intel, I’m going to assume PPC for now). Where did you get the idea to add the “/ .” to the path?

Thank you so much for figuring that out. I knew I’d have to figure this out pretty soon now that we’re getting more Leopard computers in the district, it’s such a relief to get somewhere…

Thanks for the reply… I still haven’t gotten anywhere with this. 🙁

My sharepoint doesn’t have a space in it… it’s just “afp://ipaddress/Data”

Are you saying that if you have a sharepoint w/out a space or if you just take the %20 out of the address in workgroup manager, it will mount as hidden without any issue?

Are you setting it as the group share point or just putting it in workgroup manager as a login item?

[QUOTE][u]Quote by: tlarkin[/u][p]you can mount the volume and then use a simple script using the [color=Blue]chflags[/color] command with the -hidden switch to hide it completely from the GUI. You may be able to set something in the image using /etc/fstab for mounting the volume and then using chflags to hide it.

See the chflags man page.[/p][/QUOTE]

Thanks for the reply.

This would work, but the hidden option isn’t there in Tiger. So if I mount it without the Hide button checked in Workgroup Manager, then I can only use chflags to hide it from Leopard computers.

I did notice something fun today though. on a Leopard server, if I leave the Hide box uncheck, then now my Leopard clients are logging in with the folder mounted and hidden like the tiger ones do if the hide box is checked. Weird. Maybe this was introduced in 10.5.6.

and so on and so forth.

We have 12 Xserve G5s that were updated to Leopard over the summer and about 3 of them are doing this same thing. One is very consistently doing it around midnight every other night (although it didn’t do it last night). The others are more sporadic and there’s nothing in the logs that I’ve found that helps.

We still don’t have any idea what’s doing this, but it’s interesting to see someone else with the same problem.

Just tested it on a freshly cloned 10.5 MacBook, and the MacBook is working fine. So it might just be 10.4 computers

I work for a K-8 school district and I’ve noticed students trying to log on as teachers. I want to put something in that will check for invalid login attempts and snap a photo using the camera on the iMacs and log the date, time, username, and computer. It’s just a little side project to work on when I have time – nothing anyone’s even asking for but I’m sure it would come in handy and probably show the teachers that they should use a good password.

I’ve got a command line tool called isightcapture for taking the picture and I can figure everything else out. Actually, someone has already created a utility that does this but it only works for local users which get reported to asl.log (AuthSight).

I just found that by turning on the debug log set to USR1 I get an entry in the form of:
ADPlugin: Authentiction failed for user [email protected]

But that’s among hundreds of lines of useless debug logging.

Plus, it defaults to no debug logging on restart.
