I am trying to find a way to access the netinfo DB from cocoa.
Specifically the sharing (AFP, SMB, etc).
Pointers or ideas are much appreciated.
Hello,
Quick question: Are you using Leopard or Tiger machines? On Tiger, you
can run the commands "niultil" or "nicl" to query the NetInfo database
from your application. Note that in Leopard, Netinfo has been
completely deprecated in favor of a local LDAP database. So, if you
are using Leopard, run the command "dscl" from your application. In
either case, you'll have to parse the command results in your app.
