What is the preferred method to get DirectoryServices to re-read it's configurations files (in particular, it's LDAP configuration). Right now, I do a 'killall -TERM DirectoryService', which does the job, but in a relatively heavyhanded way. 2. Probably as a result of doing 1., accessing DirectoryServices soon after it is restarted will sometimes cause a dirReference to become valid. I'm doing more testing to see if it's all the time, or just sometimes, but after restarting DirectoryServices, at least sometimes other DS functions will return eDSInvalidReference for a reference that did work. I have a single function that manages a global dirReference that is used everywhere that one is needed (so dsOpenDirService() is called once, and that reference is saved for use by all called to DS. As a workaround to 2., I've added an extra check, namely a dsVerifyDirRefNum(), and if it fails, the function sleeps(), then calls dsOpenDirService() to get a new dirReference. Is this a reasonable workaround, or is there a better way to restart DS so the reference doesn't get invalidated? Or should I assume the dirReference becomes invalid whenever I restart DS (so I should clear the global value when DS is restarted)? Or is there a way to wait until DS has completely restarted before trying to access it? I'm configuring some ldap settings that the dsconfigldap cli tool doesn't support, which is why I need to get DS to reload the ldap configuration. And yes, I've noticed that it will reset some seemingly unrelated things, such as using teleportd to share a keyboard/mouse to another computer (so the keyboard/mouse go back to controlling their host, instead of the shared computer).
