I am not able to use the NetInfo Manager in the manner it seems to have been intended. I was following the instructions in the book "Mac OS X Unleashed" for creating an LPR printer that can be used from the terminal command line (p.909ff). When I finish modifying the NetInfo database, using the NetInfo Manager GUI, I select "Restart All NetInfo Domains on Local Host" from the Options menu and get the following error message: "Can't find process ID for 'nibindd'!" No wonder...the nibindd daemon does not exist.
I have consulted Apple's support database and the MacOSX and MacNN user forums, found a few mentions of the problem, but no explanation, workaround, or fix for this problem. Can anybody offer more information and/or pointers, please? Thanks.
[PS: I am surprised that there isn't more mention of the problem. Perhaps it is an indication of just how few people are using the unfamiliar NetInfo Manager to "customize" their computer's resources.]
