I am trying to set up a server to have a central place for usernames, passwords, and home dirs.
I can get it have a central place for the username and passwords but for some reason they log in always has trouble mounting the home dir.
I set up a share point at /Users on the server. I made it afp sharing and I made a record and I set it to hold the user home dirs
I then go under and user's account in the workgroup app and select the home tab, i choose the option that is there click "create home dir" and then click save.
I log out of my admin user.
the username and password authenticate at the server computer and from a separate client computer, but the home dir never mounts, and therefore doesn't let me log in all the way.
If i don't use a network home dir, everything works fine, but this would pretty much get rid of the whole objective i am trying to accomplish
any help is really appreciated this is for the small business I work at.
I am using mac os x server 10.3
and the clients are running mac os x 10.4
thanks!
