Is possible ? We have some remote clients running OSX and using a dialup modem to connect to our network. They need to mount volumes or run qps app (in classic) that brodcasts appletalk , but it seems that appletalk is not working and cannot be turned on. Laptops running OS 9.2 can dial in...

Thanks that fixed it. I also had VNC installed on some of these MACs (don't know why I didn't install it). I removed VNC, deleted all VNC and remote desktop preferences on the client and then it worked.

I have an issue on several of my MACs that I get an "Authentication failure" error when trying to remote control or observe them. I am running ARD 2.2 on all machines. I know the the user name\pass are good since I am using the local admin password to authenticate. I can also reboot these...

I have a wierd issue with the names displayed in the sharing preferences and terminal. See the 2 documents below. Where does terminal get the other names from ? (mongazislap and toshiba dual) How can I get rid of them from terminal ? This mac will be used as a base image for other macs.

Help !! I was forced to manually power off my OSX 10.3.9 server becuase it hung. Now when ever I start it up, the CPU runs at 100%. A process called slapd is causing this. I am running Open Directory on this server. I have rebooted, but it happens every time. Any idea on how I can fix this ??

Figured it out. The home folders were sitting on a AFP share on a Windows 2000 Server. The max filename length supported is 31 characters. The name of preference file for classic is much longer than that. I moved the home folder to a smb share and it worked perfectly.

I figured it out, i setup the network home folders and the settings follow the user's no matter where they sit. One problem though, Classic will not launch, I get the error "there is a problem saving preferences required to run classic" Any ideas ?

If i run dsconfigad -localhome disable, where will it store the profile ? How can i specify which server I would like to uses, etc ? EDIT: I just tried it, I am able to login with a AD network account but do not get my desktop, etc. I noticed that the profile was not created locally so I...

Our network consists of an Active directory domain that contain all our user accounts and an Open Directrory server that applies preference settings to our G5s. Our G5s are bound to the AD domain and all users use network accounts to login. The problem is that these users move from workstation...

Another question for you guys since your were so helpful with my 1st problem. I have noticed that our G5s (OS X 10.3.9) are very slow when browsing network shares (be it AFP or SMB) if there are many items in the share. All our shares are hosted on Windows 2000 servers. For example, 1 AFP...

Go3iverson, I am already using my OD server to add items to the dock once a user authenticates. The only problem is that it adds the items I choose in addition to the default dock items. I do not want the default dock items at all and would like to remove them completely. Is there a simple...

Go3iverson i do have and Open Directory server, what and where do i find MCX settings ?

I just opened up the default.plist in textedit and modifed it manually. Works perfectly now

I found the file, but replacing it with a modified version causes dock problems when network users logon. They do not get their dock settings from the OS X server. I will try to edit the plist in a text editor and remove the persistent dock items.
