Some of you might recall our problems with DirectoryService

gone away yet, so I've resorted to "therapeutic restarts", hoping
this will prevent whatever is causing this lockup.
It appears that "serveradmin [stop|start] dirserv" will be
sufficient, but I'm looking for someone who can confirm this
before I attempt this on a production server. Anyone?
I would just 'killall DirectoryService'. initd will restart it as
needed.
You mean mach_init? Looks like I found an example of that in
system.log. IIRC, trying to start DirectoryService manually always
ended with an error in the log, but somehow it managed to start
anyways. Makes sense now.
