Thanks for your invaluable help. This was exactly what I needed. I was able to get it working with the command as you suggested, plus one additional command–which I was able to figure out once I knew where to look. The sequence was:

sudo dscl -q localhost -merge /Search CSPSearchPath /LDAPv3/servername

*and*

sudo dscl -q localhost -change /Search SearchPolicy NSPSearchPath CSPSearchPath

Thanks again. I never would have got this without your help.

Cheers,

Great! That works. Thanks for your expert help.

Now I have another question:

*** How do I set the authentication path using the command line interface (CLI)?

I have 11 more G5s in a closet for which I don’t have access to the console.

I have used dsconfigldap to attach to the OD and I have the same
problem as above, ssh and su are not using the OD for authentication (but I CAN connect to the OD using dscl).

Thanks again. Please let me know if I should start another “Topic” for this new question.

Cheers,

id returns the following:

$ id network-only-user
id: network-only-user: no such user
$

Thanks,

Thanks for your quick response!

On the PPC box when I type id (as root) I see the following:

root# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel), 1(daemon), 2(kmem), 3(sys), 4(tty), 29(certusers), 5(operator), 80(admin), 20(staff)

I hope this helps.

Jem
