I want to allow the directory user to login to the GUI (or ssh) and create a local user representing the directory user with a local home directory. As part of the login, the directory user's network home should be mounted as a standard share so they can access their network files. So, I have directory authentication working and I can mount a network share easily, but it's the points in between that I don't know how to complete. There's really no documentation/examples on this procedure so I was hoping to get some help from the list. These are 2 seperate questions, since that's not what a chached user is: How do I now turn this user record into a local cached user so that a user can actually login to the GUI using only the remote DS credentials? Local users may have kerberos or Password Server Auth Authorities allowing them to authenticate against remote auth stores .. -mb This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

You can tell the difference between Darwin and MacOSX by the amount of padding that Apple added to several key C++ libkern and IOKit classes.

At least for the kind of drivers that I write, the only real difference between x86 and ppc is the endinaness. Getting my driver working was less than 1 day of work, most of which was modifying makefiles to use lipo to stitch universal binaries together.

Or maybe they'll abandon the Mach/BSD hybrid entirely and move to some other kernel that Apple has developed. One that won't suffer from the same threading problems and other performance issues. And maybe one that will have great documentation and interfaces for device drivers. >From what I've read, since there has never been any xnu source code release for intel, getting drivers working on xnu intel has been a challenge for vendors.
