Re: NetInfo -> Directory Services



Isn't this something that could be done via the "System Configuration Framework"?

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Networking/Conceptual/ SystemConfigFrameworks/index.html>

I think that SC has it's roots in Darwin, but I'm not sure if the higher level CF based APIs are available there. Is it a requirement?

I'm trying to convert my use of NetInfo APIs to Directory Services APIs, and I'm having problems. I want to access the DHCP information added by Internet Sharing, which is stored in NetINnfo at /config/dhcp/subnets. However, dscl consistently complains that /config/dhcp/subnets is an invalid path. To duplicate:
1. Turn on Internet Sharing in Mac OS X (System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet)
2. From Terminal, query Directory Services:
dscl localhost -list /NetInfo/config/dhcp/subnets
In the NetInfo Admin Utility you can see that this path exists and has children, so why can't Directory Services see them?


What else do I need to do? In Tiger the NetInfo APIs are private, so I'd rather not rely on them, but I will if I have to...
