Re: NetInfo -> Directory Services

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?

because you should have run the command in interactive mode and found out that you don't need the leading /.


So:

dscl localhost -list NetInfo/Config/dhcp/subnets

Thanks for reminding me of this tool!! dscl localhost is a nice thing! (BTW, if you do dscl . you end up in the local netinfo directly).
