I've had less problems with the length of the pathname in 10.4
than in 10.4
I double checked this. The length of the directory path should be
fine for my servers they are running 10.3.9 so I gain the extra 14
characters that you don't have prior to 10.3.5.
I am currently going through and recreating my automounts though.
"Just in case"
2. On the client machine, you may also want to check the /var/log/
secure.log file. I find that it has elaborate information
regarding the network login process. Including errors related to
the length of the path, authentication errors, etc.
The secure.log file didn't offer anything other than stating
successful or unsuccessful login attempts.
3. Using Workgroup Manager (WGM) check your share-points and
ensure that you can see them and they are valid. Try logging in
to a user's remote share by FIRST logging into the workstation
using a LOCAL account. Then try CMD-K and enter "afp://
<servername>/<username>" and see if the share mounts
successfully. If not, time to check sharing and automount records.
I have tried this previously if issue (A) occurs I can even
connect to the server from the users non functional account and
mount their home directory. It just won't automount. Still
unsure why.
4. Enable the option to edit directory records directly and then
click on the target icon in Workgroup manager and select
"Mounts". Make sure you see the automount records you think you
should.
Doing this right now!
I cannot thank you guys enough for helping me with this!
