Correct, the read-only attribute is still in place when they copy it locally.

I can see more of where the problem happens but it is still an issue of fixing it.

If I login with a faculty username and password and save something to their Public folder or move something to their public folder. The permissions are correct in that the owner has read/write access.

If I login as guest or another account, the owner name is correct but the permissions are set as read only. I’m not sure why owner privileges would change based on login.

Has anyone seen this before ?

The append did not give me any errors which is great. thank you

The members do not show up in workgroup manager under group members but they do when I use

dscl /LDAP/127.0.0.1 read /Groups/aduser and in workgroup manager under the inspector tab.

Is this normal?

[merdrum21]

No, the user uses a local account. No AD or OD. They use the connect to server option in finder to connect

[merdrum21]

I have finally had time to give this a try but I am still running into problems.

I type dsconfigad -staticmap NFSHomeDirectory /Users/student -lu admin -lp my password appears to work says “settings have changed”
when I login as “testuser” it produces a new Home Folder though

when I use dscl /Active Directory/Users and do a read testuser

It gives me two readings for NFSHomeDirectory one is /Users/testuser and the other at the bottom is /Users/student

How do I get rid of the /Users/testuser and have it only use the NFSHomeDirectory /Users/student if that is indeed the problem.

This is leopard 10.5.4

Looking to manage quotas on the OSXS box.

Unfortunately AFP is a computer based connection. So this is not possible. SMB works this way.

I had simliar issues and booted off the Tiger Server DVD and used the Password Reset Utility. It worked after that.

[merdrum21]

Yes they are the same.

I’m having trouble getting zterm to work Tiger 10.45. never had a need to use the serial port before. It says to run this in the terminal on the website if it can’t find the port but didn’t know if it would effect anything else.

ioreg -c IOSerialBSDClient

Is this ok to run on a server without it effecting anything else?

thanks

For some reason shortname didn’t work either. I chose standalone server and replica again and then restarted. I was able to authenticate then. I read the article on automounts and clearing the private/network/servers folder helped alot in getting home folders working. thank you all.

[merdrum21]

I have to check that. I tried the users section initially and it didn’t work but then went to the sharing one. I didn’t realize they both require authentication I tried the root account and it didn’t work in both users/sharing section. I’ll try again with the admin shortname.
thanks

[merdrum21]

When I click on the lock to authenticate to create the automount it does not accept my master ldap password on the replica, Is the replica server password different? the password works fine on the master ldap server. Is there a way to reset the replica ldap password?
thanks joel

[merdrum21]

I tried killing the replica, (making standalone server) then fixing the automount then making it a replica again. When I put the replica info directly into direcotry access on the client the home folders still won’t mount. Any ideas? The home folders work fine from the master but an xraid is attached to the replica that I would like to use as a second device for home folders. My only option now is to make the replica another master and have students in a specific lab only use this server.

[merdrum21]

ahh, yes created new admin in the domain and is working great now. thanks joel
