Hello all. There is some strange thing going on with our OS X clients. We have created a package which is run via SystemStarter. What it does? It parses /etc/fstab and mounts the NFS directories mentioned there. This is needed since we want to have static mounts and the NetInfo-automounter combination does not do static mounts (even with ttl=0 set for the mount, which is supposed to do a static mount). Thanks Apple! Anyway, to manage /etc/fstab we have use: mount { "/home/student": atboot => true, device => "nfsse...

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know what apple has done to samba on mac os x server? reading through the docs, it sounds like they have modified it to authenticate via netinfo. At the very least, they've done something so that rather than having an smbpasswd file, it stores the windows encrypted passwords in netinfo, and it authenticates incoming requests via netinfo rather than a password file. I'm wondering if they did this to samba or if they have some sor...

...er run the samba supplied by apple. Apple has not released any updates for OSX server 1.1.5 -- instead wanting us to upgrade to OSX server 10.2 for $900. I have been able to build the latest version of samba on max osX , but authentication is not working. What are the hooks needed to talk to the netinfo database for password information? Somehow apple's version bypasses smbpasswd and authenicates directly with netinfo...Any ideas? I can dump netinfo information into a passwd file and create an smbpasswd file from that, but it won't be dynamic when users change their password. Thanks, Da...

Hello folks, I''m new to the Rails framework and don''t know where to look to find my answer. Here is the question, Is there a way to set multiple domain name for *a* rails application, and base on the URL do the work in the app. Imagine I have a user based document management system, each user want to access to her docs using her domain, but I don''t like to have many

...wd out of the way. in fact, I backed up the whole /var/db/samba dir. that contains smbpasswd, secrets.tdb and MACHINE.SID. restarted samba, used smbpasswd -a root, then added a machine using smbpasswd -a -m machine. on a mac you have to create the machine in workgroup manager, then modify it in netinfo manager, then add it to smbpasswd. takes a while. I have not removed accounts from netinfo which is essentially a passwd database with different access. the errors when I try to login is " rpc_server/srv_samr.c:api_samr_set_userinfo(670) api_samr_set_userinfo: Unable to unmarshall SAMR_Q_SET_...

I''ve modified /etc/hosts as explained in "Dynamic Vhosts Working" [2], but I do not want to use Apache ... I''m using Webrick for development. Since this is Mac OS X, I also tried NetInfo Manager (/Applications/Utilities/NetInfo Manager.app) by duplicating machines localhost and changing the name property to "sub.domain.mine" -- but that still didn''t work. I also tried rebooting after maching the /etc/hosts and NetInfo changes, but that didn''t make it sta...

Hi, I was at the Puppet talk at Oscon and I would like to try using Puppet for PXE on RHEL machines and I was wondering if there are standard minimal Kickstart recipes from which Puppet can then take over. Thanks, Jason van Zyl jason at maven.org

...istently. You should now be able to specify a class or definition with a namespace everywhere you would normally expect to be able to specify one without. Downcasing of facts can be selectively disabled. Cyclic dependency graphs are now checked for and forbidden. The netinfo mounts provider was commented out, because it really doesn''t work at all. Stupid NetInfo stores mount information with the device as the key, which doesn''t work with my current NetInfo code. Otherwise, lots and lots of bugfixes. Check the tickets associated...

As I sit here staring at my manifests (and pondering a module to control Glassfish), I''m pondering the best way to do a first-run of puppet to get the initial repositories and puppet configuration downloaded. My theory is that I''ll modify rc.local (or replace firstboot-tui, we don''t use it with automated builds) to run puppetd twice - once to request the certificate,

This has been a much-requested feature, and is now a reality (in svn trunk): There is a new option, --ignoreimport, that will (surprisingly) ignore import statements. This is really only useful when using -- parseonly in a commit hook, and note that you''ll have to add the option to --parseonly, none of the puppet executables will add it for you. You should be able to

...ups(229) Unable to initgroups. Error was Input/output error This error happens each time I try to access my mac from a windows XP or windows 2000. I'm not very familiar with mac X internals but I see that it uses some kind of LDAP wich I can access and modify using an applications called netinfo. I've seen some references to negative numbers used as user id, I changed all uids to positive but I still have this error. Anybody has any sugestion? Thank you, Nicolae Mihalache

Hi everybody I have installed SWAT services under MacOS X Server 10.3.3 by adding the service to Netinfo manager and set enabled = yes in /etc/xinet.d/swat file. I try to login as root in Safari (I have enabled the root account), but keep getting the messages that the name and the password is incorrect. Any ideas anyone ? Best regards Torsten

Security > features in Mac OS X have been left unlocked (Preference Pane - Users) OSX is substantially different from FreeBSD (even without netinfo) despite having some of the same source code. I doubt you'll find much OSX expertise among freebsd-security subscribers even if it wasn't OT. Assuming there is no osx-security list or newsgroup your best bet would be to contact Apple directly. However, given Apple's difficulties issu...

...t important fix being the multiple-definition error. Completely rewrote the ParsedFile system; each provider is now much shorter and much more maintainable. However, fundamental problems were found with the ''port'' type, so it was disabled. Also, added a NetInfo provider for ''host'' and an experimental NetInfo provider for ''mount''. Made the RRDGraph report *much* better and added reference generation for reports and functions. You can get it from the usual places (i.e., http://reductivelabs.com/ download...

Is it actually possible to replace the built in version of Samba with a later 'proper' version that we can just do local, user based security authentication with, or does Apples 'netinfo' system get in the way no matter what?
