Opendirectory

My PowerMac G4 Cube is now running 10.4.11 Server and is an active OpenDirectory master. Doing the setup on this brought back a lot of memories. This time through I had the devil of a time remembering how to setup an auto mount in Workgroup Manager, and I was reminded just how touchy early versions of OSX were to DNS issues.

It’s working now – running networked home folders to the machines on the network, served off my Solaris file server, and running a Kerberos instance, that will let me do more work with OpenAFS later down the road. Just happy it’s all working and running.
