Hello all
I'm running OS 10.4.2 Server. I have problem creating Groups in my local server. I went to the management server and I created a "testgroup" on afp://servername.wsusd.edu/Groups/ --it doesn't works--. Any ideas....
Thanks,
Victor

I have no experience with the WD "Enterprise Drives" so I can't
comment on them specifically.
In general, and from a *lot* of past experience, I would never (ever
ever) buy a WD drive.
Your mileage may vary...

Thanks to an idiot on-site Apple engineer we lost 2 RAIDs ....
I'm actually happy about the purchase. I just think that Apple, like all
manufacturers, prices the original hardware very agressively and then
makes the money back on spare part (somewhere I read that if you build a
Honda Civic by buying all the parts individually from Honda, it would
cost you over $45K).

If you think that this ammounted to "baiting", that's probably because
is the kind of thing you would do. In 23 years in this business I've
never baited anyone. I expect a public apology.

Heck, if it's sitting there idle I've seen 'servermgrd' soaking up CPU cycles.
In the pre 10.4 days there was also a bug where the directory
/var/spool/cups/tmp would have a constantly growing set of files
whenever ServerManager was running. That seems to have been mostly
fixed in 10.4, but I got into the habit of shutting ServerManager
down.
Personally, I would leave it shut down whenever possible.

Well, I don't really sit there and watch my mail queue, but mail
doesn't seem to be seriously delayed since the upgrade to 10.4

I take it you decided that you're not going to be calling Apple for any
issues on the RAID, since it's not like you're going to be able to give them
the true hardware config, which would make them helping you with problems
effectively impossible?

Up until today I've been the only one that's ever needed access to my
LAN from the outside world so when I needed to do AFP I would just
VPN in and do it that way.
I now have a user that needs to get in via AFP to muck with his
website's files on my server so I opened up 548 and 22 on my
firewall, made sure that 'Enable Secure Connections' is checked in SA
and tried it.
I get an error that my server doesn't support secure connections and
helpfully asks if I'd like to continue with reduced security.
I think that I've got all the relevant entries set on the server, if
someone could list them that would be helpful. But are there some
other ports that I should open? Or would it be better to try and
teach this user who is barely computer literate how to make a VPN
connection to my LAN, and does 10.3 offer the distinction of private
network ranges so that only the traffic that needs to goes over the
VPN or was that a 10.4 update?
Sorry if I'm not being clear enough or providing enough information.
If you can decipher my meaning I'd appreciate helpful tips or advice
on what else I should post to make myself more clear.
Thanks,
David

And actually it's far less secure than Open Directory passwords.

I know this has been reported before, but I haven't seen a solution
on how to fix it. I've done two OD Master Tiger servers over the last
week, both with seemingly good dns, but both continue to have this
line in the system log:
"(Server not found in Kerberos database)"
On both servers, OD seems very flaky, lots of random errors in
Workgroup Manager when dealing with passwords. In both cases I
haven't added any servers, so I assume its talking about the OD
Master. Anybody know a good way to figure out which server/service
kerb is talking about and how I might go about fixing it?
thanks!

Hi,
I've a 10.4.2 server with dhcp, dns, firewall and opendirectory
services running ok on an iMac G3 400 (its a test server). My
trouble is that after 30 min, when I pinging the iMac, its no
answer. It's no Energy saver preference setup trouble (sleep never
and wake for eth admin access).
When I ping from server to a any host, at the same time the server
start to answer to the ping from the host, and all services work fine
again.
Whats would be the trouble?
Thanks
Marcelo

We've had this spurious warning appear on our G4 starting with the 10.4 seed.
It comes and goes for no apparent reason and sometimes a reboot won't fix it.

Simon,
I purchased a Powerfile R200 2 years ago, it turned out to be a very
expensive paper weight. It's basically a useless piece of trash. For the
first year the software that came with it didn't work properly and would
constantly hang the system it was attached to. Then they improved the
drivers, but it's still very slow in mounting drives (can take as much
as 1 minute to mount a DVD) and you still needed to use the GUI to
initialize each drive (which in a *nix world when you have to deal with
200 DVD's is useless).
I haven't played with it in the last 3 months, so maybe they have a new
version of the software, I only know that I wasted a lot of time and
money with it. I purchased it on reccomendation from Apple people and
regretted not having spent the extra money for a real DVD jukebox from a
serious company.

To: email@hidden
Message-ID: <email@hidden>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed
Hi All,
I have three remaining Xserves bound to Win2003 AD (the rest are on
Open Directory). Two servers are at 10.4.2 and one is 10.3.9.
Everything was working fine with logins and permissions until a few
days ago. On the 10.4.2 machines, users are able to login just fine,
but AD groups are not honored and permissions for those groups fail.
The 10.3.9 server continues to work fine with AD users and groups.
I have unbound and rebound both 10.4.2 servers and even done a clean
install on one and they will not recognize groups. The groups show up
in WGM and show the correct users in them, but they are just not
honored. My AD counterpart said that nothing had changed on the AD
side in the last two weeks to cause this.
One thing that we tried and had work was changing the primary group
of a user from domain user to the school staff group. The permissions
for that user in the school staff group then worked. This is not
something we would like to do for every AD user at that school.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Kevin Anderson

It may be related to networking. A switch might be optimised for
routing
traffic fastest for machines sending the most traffic. Is the path
between
your client and server computers part of your normal network or do
you just
have a little minihub between them ? Could you try it with the two
separated by just a minihub ?

Right now I have only tried this for 10.4 clients. For my one test

Subject: G4 false blower failure indication
To: email@hidden
Message-ID: <email@hidden>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed
Hi All,
I've got six G4 Xserves that are giving false blower failure
indications. These are slot-loading G4 Xserves purchased around the
end of 03 beginning of 04 time frame. They came with 10.3 and we just
upgraded them to 10.4 with clean installs. The false blower failure
indications were happening in 10.3, but they seem to be happening
more in 10.4. The blowers indicate that they are running 25,000 to
30,000 rpms. They are actually running at the normal speed and the
temps are all normal.
Sometimes a reboot fixes the false failure indication, sometimes it
doesn't.
The other funny thing is sometimes these same Xserves don't reboot
cleanly. The interface (en0) doesn't come up and the server seems
hung at a certain point. This requires me to drive to the site and
manually reboot or have someone there do it. I don't have monitors
hooked up to them, so I don't know what the screen shows. I only know
that the server is on, but the interface is not.
The G5 Xserves that we have do not exhibit either problem, nor do the
tray-loader G4 Xserves.
Anyone else have these problems on the same hardware?
Thanks,
Kevin Anderson

Hold off if you want to use it with Tiger. They said their
customized version of Portents DiskTracker would be ready by July.
It's not done yet. They are changing that text on their website to
third quarter. The rep I talked to a couple days ago said possibly
the end of August.

When you get the message from the Server Monitor that the
blowers are failing, are the blower RPM's out of the normal range?
I've got one Xserve that occasionally complains that one of the
blowers is running too fast.

Kevin,
We have two similar XServes and they both showed the same symptoms as
you are having. I did a clean install on the systems and that seems
to have helped with some of the problems. However, I am having other
