Hello all, this thread is the closest/same error I am getting, and I’m hoping someone can throw a little light on it because I’m all out off coffee….

I get the following error on logging in on one of the two test mac’s I’m using:

“You are unable to log on to the user account at this time” and
“Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred”.

I’ve also noted that Clients take an ‘age’ to logout, without Public Internet connectivity. However, I think this is unrelated.

I’m trying to set up a small system, and the environment right now is small, controlled & managed and low traffic, specifically:

MacMini Server (10.6.4)
Client 1 – Macbook Air (10.6.4)
Client 2 – MacBook Pro (10.6.4)
Connectivity – DLInk Ethernet Router (CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET)
Kerberos Realm SERVER.DOMAIN.CO.UK
DNS Address server.domain.co.uk

Used WGM to :
– create users with home dirs (in the default automount)
– shared an application from the server

Preferences:

Folder redirection is on to minimise network traffic. This works because if I make a change to the desktop, or documents folder for example, the change is noted on the server when browsing ‘File Sharing’.

Services and Setup:

Address Book
– Kerberos
– SSL – Don’t Use

iCal
– Type DIgest
-SSL – Don’t Use

Mail
– Login and Plain disables
– No SSL used.

AFP
– Kerberos

DNS
– zone records for Primary and Reverse work for the server.
– (no local zones)

Open Directory
– Role Open Directory Master
– LDAP – no SSL

Push Notification
– server.domain.co.uk iCal
– server.local Mail

KEY ISSUES:

I can login to all accounts on the MacBook Pro, mail works, iCal works and shares are accessible.
But I login to the account from the MacBook Air, I see the following in the system.log file

secure.log:Oct 10 12:52:10 macbook-air SecurityAgent[152]: User info context values set for helen
secure.log:Oct 10 12:52:11 macbook-air authorizationhost[149]: ERROR | -[HomeDirMounter mountNetworkHomeWithURL:attributes:dirPath:username:] | PremountHomeDirectoryWithAuthentication( url=afp://server.domain.co.uk/Users, homedir=/Network/Servers/server.domain.co.uk/Users/helen, name=helen ) returned 80

I also frequently see errors in ‘Server Admin’, such as:

“The service has encountered an error.”
Try to refresh the view (server.local/Address Book). (kNetworkError).

I do not know if the above is related or not, and in Open Directory, there are 2 IP addresses listed in the ‘Replica Tree’.
The first is an old unused IP address (192.168.0.100). Does this (can this be removed?)

cat /private/etc/hostconfig
