Uhm, DA? For some reason I've got "Desk Accessory" running through the
brain - but I know that's not it.

Hi all,
We recently ran into a strange network home issue.
While setting up a new Xserve and G5 workstations we setup network
homes. Once DA was configured the automount would pop up and you could
just logout and log back in as one of the users. If you rebooted
though it would never come back. You could go into DA, clear the auth
path, set it up again, logout and immediately back in and it would
work. The network homes just didn't survive a reboot.
Long story short, the Macs were booting too fast and missing the
mount. (The Xserve is in a differnt subnet.) You could login as the
local admin, HUP DirectoryServices, and then login as a network user.
I simply made a startup item that does a killall DirectoryServices. I
made it dependant on the NFS and DirectoryServices startup items so I
know it will run _after_ the automount has been made and after it is
safe to start DS.
We dropped it in /Library/StartupItems and now all the Macs can reboot
just fine.
