User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.2.3.060209 There's been a long-running problem many people experience using Mac OSX and OSXS, where after a period of time all system logins fail, though any users logged in can work normally, and all processes that don't require login also function normally (like apache, SMTP (non-authenticating), etc.). Many reports point to lookupd instability as the culprit, though why some people experience the problem and some don't is a mystery. I've suffered with this going on 3 years now. I'm posting here to see if this problem is OSX-specific or if any darwin-only users have experienced it. If you've had the auth failure problem, or have seen lookupd flakiness, please let me know, on-list or off.
