The dsstore_fetch error is very bad. It means that the local NetInfo
database is corrupt. Specifically,
/var/db/netinfo/local.nidb/Store.224 is corrupt in some way. Without
looking at it, I can't really guess why. Needless to say, this is
never supposed to happen. You can try booting in single-user mode, and
then:
This will force nicl to run a database check. It is capable of
detecting and correcting some database problems (but don't be too
hopeful). If it eventually prints a "> " prompt, then it managed to
fix the database. type "quit" and then reboot. However, if one of the
files in the database is really messed up, then it will fail. In this
case, you really can't do much expect throw away the database (save a
copy and send it to me if security considerations allow you to do so),
and replace it from backup. If you don't have a backup, just get rid
of it:
and reboot. There's a check at startup for a missing database, and a
perl script in /usr/libexec/create_nidb will build a default database.
Unfortunately, all your changes will be lost.
Just a by-the-way: take a look at using "nicl" rather than niutil.
You can write scripts for nicl. The important difference is that you
can make a single NetInfo connection with nicl, then issue lots of
commands that work over that one connection. Writing scripts with
niutil (invoking niutil many times) creates a new tcp connection to the
NetInfo server for each "niutil" command. It is a lot slower than just
starting nicl once and feeding it a lot of commands.
