Yes, the lists match. But the authorisation won't
work, not for a new user, not for any existing user,
and there's no sign in the logs of what's happening.
Grrr.


If you allow (let's be prudent, because of the Grrr), two other small (ditto) tests then.

(I don't know how you named your user, so I'll continue with 'machin')

1. Could you post the results of following command:

nidump -r /users/machin .

2. The same way, could you copy/paste the text lines (including the prompts) that you get in the Terminal while executing:

su machin

I'm going to stop thinking about this for a while.


There MUST be a way to get it working on your system :-)

BTW, I finally found the source of the "Basic,ShadowHash" idea.
And yes, the author agrees there were problems with it (the ones we discovered), and concludes with us that the way is to create a user with a ";Basic;" authentication authority ("Basic" in Open Directory's terminology here, not cups' one!).

HTH,
Axel
