The majority of problems encountered come from users not being able to connect. This happens primarily at login, so a good idea is to check the directory-service binding first. Use dscl to verify that the Mac OS X computer is binding to the server and is able to access the data. If it is not binding, use an LDAP browsing utility such as LDapper or LDAPManager to verify that you have the correct server address and search base.
Note If you place *.* in /etc/syslog.conf and add another file to receive that particular log, you'll end up getting lots of automount logging and afp / smb errors when loginwindow can't mount the home directory. |
