Used the IP on the CLIENT machine. Am on break at the moment so I can't get to the server. However when I was working on it I tried deleting the LDAP db and then remaking the open dir master, but when I went to save it as an open dir master I got "error writing setings (69)" or something...

I think it may be a problem with the hosts file. The server I didn't recognize was what I set the server's IP as in the host file. I'm going to try fixing the host file and see what happens..

I'm able to login to the accounts on the LDAP node on the server, but only if the home directory is set to something I've not set up in the DNS.. however the Network/etc. path is the same as what I thought was the correct afp:// path.

I'm able to login as the directory administrator in workgroup manager, if that's what you mean.. Could you elaborate on that? I'm a networking/mac novice, sorry..

Ok.. sorry first for the multiple topics.. I really hope I can get this done soon and stop buggin y'all :) I'm unable to login to the client machine I'm testing with at the moment. Server is running open directory master. -Kerberos is running -LDAP is running -Lookup server is running...

Aha... Well, then.. I have another question.. I have everything set-up correctly, supposedly, on the server (Open dir running, Kerberos running, etc..) Also I supposedly have everything configured correctly on the client (LDAPv3 plugin entry added, contacts and authentication pointed to...

Edit: See my 2nd post on this thread. I'm trying to change user's passwords in the workgroup manager, it at first appears I'm able to change the password, but when I move to another user and then back to that user, the password becomes some 8-character password I don't know. This happens with...

Edit: it fixed itself, somehow.. I've got an open directory master set-up on my server, kerebros is running, am using server as it's DNS server, but using a different server for DHCP. Trying in workgroup manager to connect to the LDAPv3 node gives me the following error: The Node...

A related but non mac-related question for anyone who knows.. the admin of the DNS server is having trouble geting reverse lookups to work.. (DNS server running redhat 9 I beleive) his manual says to add the following entry to the zone: reverseOfIP.in-addr.arpa. 14000 IN PTR...

ok.. the host name resolves, but not the reverse lookup of the IP.. what does this mean? also, one of the help files says I'm supposed to make sure the server (the G5 that I'm trying to set this up on) resolves the name and the reverse lookup of it's IP. The reverse lookup of the IP doesn't...

Then, is it alright to use another dns and dhcp server existing on the subnet? Also, it tells me to test the DNS settings in network util by doing a lookup and reverse lookup.. How do I do that? (I know how to get to network util, and the lookup tab, but dunno after that)

Alrighty.. The subnet is evidently the entire school, or district, so there are both DHCP and DNS servers .. would it be alright to use those instead of my own DNS server? Also, I keep failing to "kerberize" the server.. In fact, the button isn't even there anymore. Have already been...

Helps a lot, in fact.. Some clarification, though- In server admin, when I specify a spot for the database, I just supply a directory, correct? I don't have to create a database in something else or something? (Like I said, I'm a novice.. sorry) Also, I'm not sure exactly what I must to...

Firstly.. sorry for the double-post. I've done some more reading, which I admittedly should have done from the start, and this is how I understand it: I can set up the accounts and whatnot on the server, and then all I have to do is set the client machine's search path to include the...

Ok, I'm not only a rather novice mac user, I'm a networking novice as well, so, please, don't hurt me as I ask- My school's art lab just got a powermac G5 server, came with OSX server already installed. We're having some problems, or, rather, are trying to do some things that we don't know...
