    10.1 Startup delay - Starting directory services

    I took a trip over to the Apple-hosted discussion boards, and another person was having the same "starting directory services" problems. They deleted the "locations" section of the netinfo database and that fixed it. I tried it and it also worked for me. :) Now it just boots right up - no...

    10.1 Startup delay - Starting directory services

    Ever since updating to 10.1, I get this five minute delay when trying to "start directory services" as the machine boots up. I'm fairly confident this has something to do with netinfo, but I'm not quite sure what to do about it. These are the lines from the console right around where the delay...

    Windows Networking and OS X

    how to fix crashes in Sharity!

    This truncating of filenames doesn't happen if you use "gnutar" rather than "tar" to untar the installer. You can also use OpenUp if you don't like CLI tools. Use either of these methods and the installer works great. -- Alex

    HOSTS file???

    Thanks Jason. I wasn't quite sure *what* to edit with NetInfoManager. There was actually another tool in OSXS and DP4 that was a bit less "deep" into NetInfo. NetworkManager or something. Looks like it didn't make it into OSXPB. No prob, editing this "machines" subdirectory will do...

    HOSTS file???

    So does anyone know the scoop for "hacking your hosts file" on OSXPB? With OS X Server and OS X DP4, the HOSTS file was only used if you were running in single-user mode (IIRC). You had to use some other app that modified the local NetInfo DB to fulfill the role of the HOSTS file. So my...
