Re: ISC dhcp server and Mac OS X ldap server option flags

Michael,

thanks for that. I don't suppose you have an ldif of
the macosxodconfig that you could post?

I am trying to make all of this work without having
any Mac Servers in the mix.... our back end here is
all Unix (iPlanet Directory on Solaris)

I have the mount stuff in and automounting of
homedirectories via nfs working fine. Just looking
for autoconfig of the directory stuff and I am there.

Scott.
