The GUI for editing DNS in Server Admin is so broken it makes me want to cry every time I look at it. Who the heck programmed that thing? Some summer intern?

The only way to get a workable DNS configuration is to edit the zone files by hand.

I tried to create indices for some ldap objects I’ve been getting errors for:
Feb 29 10:24:06 server slapd[23495]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (uniqueMember) index_param failed (18) Feb 29 10:24:13 server slapd[23495]: <= bdb_substring_candidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18) I added the following to /etc/slapd.conf: index authAuthority sub index uniqueMember eq And then ran the slapindex as recommended, but I continue to get the errors. Ideas?

What I mean by “it wouldn’t work” is that we have a cluster of Unix machines that have their own set of home directories that are not the same as the standard user home directories, and are mounted from a different server. So if the attribute for the home directory path is /Network/Servers/machomedirectoryserver/Users that attribute is only accurate on half of our network, since on the unix cluster the home directories are served from another server. Of course, nothing prevents us from mounting those home directories in that same path, it just looks weird and could lead to some confusion.

Both. Also, users will be logging on to the Linux workstations from their macs and I intend to have ticket forwarding happening there..

Excellent. That’s exactly what I needed.

I don’t understand why I would need to upgrade the group? Both groups were newly created in Leopard, on the server and the local client respectively, when we set up our test network here.

I also tried doing it with dseditgroup and got the following message:

[code]bash-3.2$ dseditgroup -o edit -a sysops -t group admin
Failed to convert legacy group to new group format. Cannot add member to group as legacy groups do not support GUID membership.[/code]

How do you run Workgroup Manager on a client machine? I installed the server admin tools but I can’t connect to the local directory.
