AFP File Sharing from thing2

Hi,

What works: Thing2 has a current copy of all student directories. Thing2 uses northshoreview as its authentication source (using ldap). Thing2 is sharing user home directories using afp. (You can mount them using cmd-K in the Finder.)

What doesn't work: Automounting of those home directories for users. I could use some help from a Mac expert, although I do have a couple of other things to try. It might suffice just to have someone familiar with Workgroup Manager that I can explain this to.

I'll come by again tomorrow, or if someone wants to make an appointment to work on this, that would be fine too. (Friday morning?)

Regards,
Dennis
P.S. I did set up Mobile Directories" for just one user, Carter Gentry. We'll see if that also reduces the load on northshoreview. If it works the way I think it does, that would give the lowest load on the xserve, and the fastest performance for users.

ASL crashes

Hi,

I was poking through the system logs on northshoreview (the xserve) as part of my quest to serve half the student home directories from thing2, and found several programs that crash repeatedly. The most frequent one was aslmanager, so I looked up what to do about it, and this apple discussion seemed the most helpful, so I took the recommended action (delete the asl.db) and I haven't seen any aslmanager crashes since (logs in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter).

I anyone notices more crashes, feel free to let me know.

Thanks,
Dennis
