Yes indeed, you can modify /etc/rc.common in 10.4.11.

[premiermac]

We fixed it by putting a line at the end of /etc/rc.common that says “rm -Rf /Library/Caches/*

Somehow, that fixed it for us on 10.3.x clients. Never had a problem since. It doesn’t seem to have caused any other problems.

I have the same problem; there’s probably some simple resolution that we’re just not seeing.

Allegedly, the 10.5 tools are ok to administer 10.4.11 when it arrives. I prefer to just leave the older 10.4 tools on the drive and use them when administering 10.4 boxes. Just rename the folder from /Applications/Server to /Applications/Server104 so the new 10.5 tools don’t overwrite them.

[premiermac]

That’s how I would do it. Use the firewall.

A BlueCoat SG series box does it nicely, though it’s not inexpensive.

This has long since been fixed. See http://word.mvps.org/Mac/CantSaveToServer.html

You should really have “Essential Mac OS X Panther Server Administration” by Michael Bartosh (link on the left) to do this stuff. It has really good detail about what’s going on with the home directory mounting, and important troubleshooting steps.

[premiermac]

Yes, just use Sharepoints.

You need to fix your Postfix mail server name settings. It’s in main.cf. You’ll find it in there as www1 or such; change it to the proper name of the server. It should be something that resolves via dns on the internet.

See here- http://www.postfix.org/basic.html

You could disable the external interface, set everything up, and then re-activate it later.

Just checked, and a limited test just crashes the Finder on a search with a Network Home user. It also doesn’t allow exclusions in System Preferences.
