The problem I am getting is that when a mobile users logs into a
workstation they are getting the "99" home folder along with a "99"
folder create at the volume root. Logging into the station as
another user loads the pervious "99" folder which is already said
to be owned by the original login. Any ideas what's going on here?
I'm pretty sure I did everything right.
I've seen exactly the same thing under 10.4.
This undocumented tool will sort out the issue in my experience if
you use the first example and specify the homepath.
MCXCacher -U usershortname [-h homepath]
Creates (or overwrites an existing) mobile account on the current
machine for user "usershortname" with optional home path "homepath"
MCXCacher
Performs the pre-login checks and refreshes cache if required.
MCXCacher -u usershortname
Performs the post login checks and refreshes caches -- does
everything that "MCXCacher" does plus caches the current user's
mcx_settings
MCXCacher -f
Flushes the cache (Mobile accounts not removed; but system is unmanaged)
MCXCacher -d
Dirties the cache so that it will be refreshes at the next login
("MCXCacher" call by mcxd)
The other alternative is to create the mobile account as per normal,
and then just edit the local NetInfo copy such that it points the
home directory to the correct location.
