Ok – more info 🙂

I can login via WGM from other machines on the network just fine. Using the exact same credentials locally on the Xserve WGM reports:

The login information is not valid for this server.

I see this in secure.log:

/usr/sbin/PasswordService[65]: client response doesn't match what we generated
--- last message repeated 3 times ---

Again, I changed the root password on this machine. Any idears?

thx!

Thanks! I’d forgotten that one.

The ‘culprit’ is jabber – a.k.a. iChat Server 🙂

Last week I saw what appeared to be a renegade perl script saturate my outbound net connection and so I feel the need to be very familiar with everything running on my Xserve.

Thanks for the reply Mr. MacTroll. The sh /etc/rc command failed in SUM – no such directory. Oh well 😕

sudo certtool i yourcert.crt v k=/System/Library/Keychains/x509Anchors

I had previously tried that and received a response:

…certificate successfully imported.

But no change – both Apple Mail & Entourage still both complain of ‘no root cetificate’ 😐

Thanks for the Apple discussion thread tip – problem is totally solved now. The solution is to update to Bind version 9.3 (from the default installed version of 9.2.2) and then cause named to start with the -4 switch (forcing IPv4 mode).

No other bind config changes necessary. Happy day!
