I'm trying to convert my use of NetInfo APIs to Directory Services APIs, and I'm having problems. I want to access the DHCP information added by Internet Sharing, which is stored in NetINnfo at /config/dhcp/subnets. However, dscl consistently complains that /config/dhcp/subnets is an invalid path. To duplicate: 1. Turn on Internet Sharing in Mac OS X (System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet) 2. From Terminal, query Directory Services: dscl localhost -list /NetInfo/config/dhcp/subnets In the NetInfo Admin Utility you can see that this path exists and has children, so why can't Directory Services see them? because you should have run the command in interactive mode and found out that you don't need the leading /. dscl localhost -list NetInfo/Config/dhcp/subnets Nope, that still doesn't work. Without the leading slash, I still can't see children in NetInfo/config/dhcp. If I use: dscl localhost -list NetInfo/config/ I can see AppleFileServer, dhcp and ntp listed as children, but if I use dscl localhost -list NetInfo/config/dhcp It has no children. Typing dscl localhost -read NetInfo/config/dhcp I see several propertis lie dhcp_enabled and detect_other_dhcp_server, but I don't see the subnets child. It still shows up in NetInfo Manager though. Arg! There are three kinds of people in the world: Those that can count, and those that can't. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
