Re: OD, what can the matter be?

I had a suggestion from someone that seems to be doing the business:

change the hostconfig (Private/etc/hostconfig) file to

AUTOMOUNT=-NO-


This, i'm sure i've read in a white paper somewhere at some point, but as 10.4.x matured most this would configure itself. I haven't had to look at the config file for a long time

I was wondering if anyone could help me find out how i could edit the
Private/etc/hostconfig file of a large number of clients using ARD?

I've read that you can do this with preferences files. defaults writes
or something..... But, besides having to connect to each client and open
up pico, is there a way to do this for many machines at once?

Look at the UNIX utility program called 'sed'. It's a thing of beauty. You can have it substitute 'AUTOMOUNT=-YES-' with 'AUTOMOUNT=- NO-'.





Many thanks

Well, at least you got it working. I fiddled with Directory access for a few days before I went back to 10.4.10. In my case I'd have a machine that wouldn't login at all one minute but would be able to login 10 minutes later. Then maybe I'd be able to log in to some accounts but not others.



Exactly the same symptoms. I'm not going to say it's totally resolved yet, going to keep an eye on it. There hasn't been many students in today, so it's hard to tell. Will keep you posted
