AFP trouble
I have set up AFP on my G4 desktop. I am able to access it with my Macbook Pro while at home, however when I try to acces it from another location I am not able to. I forwarded port 548 and have file sharing turned on.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Thanks so much for your help!
Yes, the correct port, but there is still a question of that IP, if you mean fixed on the Mac, well that's not enough, you need to use that link above on THAT Mac you're trying to remotely connect to, to find the IP the rest of the world sees, and whether or not your ISP is giving that to you as "fixed", or whether it changes to the outside world.

Continual SAMBA crashes - 10.3.9 (7W98)
We were recently having AFP troubles and while digging through the logs I noticed pretty regular SMB crashes - probably twice a day. We only have a few Windows users and I hadn't heard any complaints so I concentrated on AFP.
Now that the AFP issues are solved (decaying firewire drive with share BTW) I took the opportunity of the fileserver being down and ran the last two security updates, ran disk utility repair, repair permissions and rebooted 4 days ago. Today I noticed SAMBA crashes in the log about EVERY 10 MINUTES!
SAMBA seems to be really thrashing and I don't know what to do about it. I would be suspicious of the new security updates if I hadn't seen the less frequent crashes in the log previously. I could trash smb.conf and start over but that seems pretty desperate without any hint of an actual cause. Most of the SAMBA threads seem to be a lot of complaints but without real solutions.
Anyone have any luck?
TIA,

and:

AFAIK, there should only be one domain master browser, so why, if this machine is both domain and local master browser is it syncing with domain master browser XSERVER<20> at IP xxx.xxx.171.76?

Trouble connecting to AFP over VPN
Hi All,
I regularly connect to my office server via VPN and use an AFP connection to mount share points (or VNC to share the screen).
Via the same VPN tunnel I also connect to my desktop machine at work using AFP or VNC. Recently, after upgrading my office desktop computer to Yosemite I began having trouble connecting from my home laptop (MBPR running Yosemite as well). I try to connect and get the message "There was a problem connecting to the server xx.x.x.xx" HOWEVER, using that very same VPN connection I am always able to connect to the server at work; just not to my desktop now.
Both the office server and my office desktop have fixed IP addresses and are on the same subnet etc. At one point I was able to solve the problem and the AFP connection to my office desktop machine worked again for awhile, but then once again stopped working. I've checked that our VPN is assigning valid IP addresses to my client at home, but it still is problematic.
I'm pretty familiar with our whole system since I'm our low-rent IT guy, and it has functioned smoothly for my team for years -- but I am not terribly knowledgeable of the deeper issues of networking. Because the issue arose after I upgraded my office desktop to Yosemite I feel it must be related to the new OS and how it manages file sharing or something (although I will reiterate that I did have it successfully working at a couple different times, it just seems to stop working for no apparent reason). Oh -- one more thing, I AM able to connect to my office desktop via AFP from other local machines within the office so I know it's File Sharing services are working correctly.
Any guidance or ideas welcome
- KeithWhat's the actual exception message? Your URL looks fine to me, though maybe something is not right with the host portion, hard to tell. It could also be a database set-up issue (e.g., your Oracle instance right now is only accepting connections from localhost).

Trouble connecting to Lion server AFP shares after changing server's hostname
Hello everyone,
I recently changed hostname of my Lion server box (via Server application) and now my clients are having a problem when trying to connect to its AFP shares via aliases. It takes 160 seconds of "resolving alias to <sharename>" before it finally works. Aliases were created by navigating to the server, connecting with "Connect As", providing valid credentials, then navigating one level up and dragging the share icon (blue disk with three white people outlines) to the Desktop with Option-Command.
What is interesting, if I create a new account on a client machine, create an alias, and click on it - it works without any delay, as it was for the clients that are having problems now; so I'm assuming some details about the previous server name got cached somewhere.
The clients with long delay problems can access the shares quickly if they click on the server in the Finder window drawer, then "Connect As" and provide their login credentials - it works instantly then.
I've been digging around quite a bit (deleting Keychain saved Network passwords for any and all references to the server I could find), and also by looking at kerberos logs on the server. What is interesting, the newly created clients I mention above who don't have delay with connecting, don't leave any records in the kerberos log file; but the ones that have 160 second delay do - there's nothing for 160 seconds, and then there is a flurry of activity, as the connection is finally established.
When a client who has trouble connecting uses the "Connect As" method described above, entries in the Kerberos log are created instantly when client clicks connect.
Probably also worth noting that renaming of the server was related to me setting up Open Directory on it.
Any pointers would be greatly apprecited.I experienced almost exactly the problems you described. I also found that connecting via command line using mount_afp worked right away... and once the connection is established, mounting via finder was super fast.
Tried all kinds of craziness on the client, even a full Time Machine restore.
Tried fixing Open Directory.
I was absolutely stumped by what was happening, but then thought, Hmm. I'm wondering if it's related to MobileMe going down? I noticed it started to happen after July 31...
Success! That was it! Signing out of MobileMe in System Preferences made everything work the way it should!
CDPlayer2: check if the clients are signed in to MobileMe, and if signing out fixes things - I'd appreciate it if you could post your results. Thanks. -
Hello !
I've got a real trouble with my dns configuration... and i can't understand! so, i need some help....
well, qutie newbie in mac os server, i run in on a G4, and i had not noticed any trouble until i've decided to run open directory as a master with LDAP, wanting to have a kerberos protection for the users.
Kerberos doesn't want to play with me !
I've been in console mode to have a look, and, actually i've seen this :
"Oct 17 11:31:08 wakan servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no name available via DNS for 192.168.0.109
Oct 17 11:31:08 wakan servermgrd: servermgr_dns: no reverse DNS entry for server, various services may not function properly"
Ok... my DNS has a trouble... but i don't know how to fix it ! Is there anybody in this world who can help me?
I don't want to have a real DNS for my little server... but i understand that my config is not good. I can understand that having a caching DNS can improve the quality of my config, and, in other hand that it is necessary for having the services of OSX server in an effeciant way, but i don't know the way and the parameters i've to put in my config to fix it.
Now, just some words on my config...
First, i've got an adress provided by my FAI (the frenchy workd for ISP, i think) is "193.252.209.135". This adress is set on a d-link modem router via PPOE. The DNS of my provider (wanadoo.fr) are 80.10.246.1 and 80.10.246.132.
After this there is my G4 With mac osX server.
• en0, the "extenal gate" and the internal ethernet on the computer is plug on the modem with the adress "192.168.0.109". the router is set on "192.168.0.1". the dns are 80.10.246.1 and 80.10.246.132.
• en1, the "internal gate" for the network, an PCI card in the computer, has the parameters : adress "192.168.3.1", subnet "255.255.255.0", router "192.168.3.1". no dns records. (no VPN service for the moment). After this, i've a switch for the macs behind the server. (without any link agregation)
All those parameters have been set by the gateaway assistant.
And now the parameters inside the admin server :
DHCP : en1 - adress from 192.168.3.2 to 192.168.3.254, name 192.168.3. no static card. Router 192.168.3.1. No name for domaine by defaut, name servers 80.10.246.1 and 80.10.246.132 No LDAP, no WINS.
DNS : No zone transfert, recursivity is ON. No zone records.
NAT : set on full, Transfert and Network Address Translation.
When i've been on the terminal, i had those information:
"wakan:~ st$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
Password:
Primary address = 192.168.0.109
Current HostName = wakan.local
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool."
All my "main" services are working fine (AFP, Firewall, DHCP, DNS, Update) Open Directory is running without Kerberos. By the way, all the macs after the G4server can have a corect access to internet, and share information via LDAP of Open Directory, but i've to say that, a couple of days later, a friend of mine, who has a PC computer, can't have a DHCP dynamic address when he plug on my little network. I think that it is an other trouble, and i've decided to have e look to this later... but if someone knows how to resolve it...
So here begins the nightmare for me... so if anybody can help me... i realy need some help to fix this mystery!!!
Special thanks!As the router modem is already doing NAT why use NAT in the server?
If you want to use OpenDirectory and other services you should/need to set up the DNS correctly using the server's private IP (and others in the same range the server is setup with). The domainname used internally can be different than your public one.
And then use the server as the only DNS for you LAN clients and the server itself. Forwarders (your ISP DNSes) in /etc/named.conf usually speeds up lookups of external addresses (also turning off IPv6 can help that too). -
Hello,
We're having some really strange issues at work with an AFP share.
Setup:
Mac OS X 10.4.7 clients (including a G5, MacBook Pro, iMac G4)
Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 sharing files via AFP
How to replicate:
User's login to the AFP share, navigate to a certain folder, and then finder "locks" (spinning beachball). All attempts to relaunch finder fail. The only things that fixes finder is restarting the machine. This does not fix getting to the folder.
Every directory in this part of the AFP share have the same permissions. I have not tried to navigate to the directory on the server because we would have to get everyone to log off and stop working.
Thanks for help in advance,
Rob
Mac OS X (10.4.7)All of the users are connecting via ethernet. We typically have about 10-15 users connected to a Mac OS X server with unlimited clients. Everyone in the office connects to this machine, but this happens even when we do not
Initially we were having trouble with a folder that had photoshop files (.psd), but now we're having trouble with the folder up from that (which is basically a project folder that then has several folders beneath it).
I copied the files that one of our employees needed in Windows to another folder (created in Windows) above the directory we are having trouble with. She was able to access the folder and the files. Windows connections are through SMB (and all the windows machines that we have are able to navigate to these folders).
For the clients, unforunately, force quit doesn't seem to handle finder correctly.

What do I need to do to enable Active Directory users to authenticate to AFP shares in 10.8 server?
We recently upgraded from 10.6 server to 10.8 server and are having trouble with AFP shares and Active Directory. We have shares on each of our OS X servers that should be mountable by any Active Directory user at the site the server resides. In 10.6, this worked beautifully. Simply adding the appropriate AD groups with appropriate permissions to the ACL of the folder(s) being shared worked without a hitch. In 10.8 server, this is not working. Permissions are defined correctly (as far as I can tell), the server is bound to AD, but yet no AD user who should have access can mount the share. When attempting to mount the share on a 10.6 client, the user gets the short and simple "You entered an invalid username or password. Please try again." On a 10.7 client, the window shakes.
What confuses me even more is that no local users can mount the share as well. I try as our admin account, I receive the following error message on our 10.6 clients:
Actually, as I was forumulating this post, logging in as the server administrator account is now working...???!!!
This was the error message we were receiving on 10.7 clients before it magically started working:
In any case, authenticating as an AD user is still no go. Any ideas?I had something similar to this. In the name field put in DOMAIN\username rather than just the name.

OS X 10.6.5 Server AFP share - can't change group from 'staff' ???
Hi,
I'm running a new 10.6.5 XServe within a corporate AD environment. Well, when I say 'running' I mean testing - I could never let this odd beast loose on anyone with the awful state it's in.
Trying to set up the AFP shares, I simply wanted to assign one of our AD groups as the POSIX group for the share, just as I do on our existing Tiger server. 'simply' he says... oh I wish!
Server Admin 'lets' me change the group, then puts it right back to 'staff' again as soon as I hit Save. Same result when trying to change the Owner too, but I'm not needing to change that.
From Terminal, the usual permissions commands have no effect either. Try chgrp MyGroupName MyFolderName.
Tried changing while logged in as either root or admin, no difference.
So, all I want to do is change the group that's assigned to a share's POSIX permissions. Am I expecting too much from SL? Anyone else had this problem, and know the trick to solving it?
Can't believe this is happening - something so basic and important. I've wasted countless hours already with numerous other SL issues. Wish I'd never set eyes on the thing but it's been forced down my throat - we needed a new XServe, which turned up with SL installed of course. I'd gladly do a clean install of plain Leopard over the top, but apparently that's asking for (even more) trouble.
This POSIX nonsense is just the latest obstacle I need to get sorted.
Thanks for any help,

So, all I want to do is change the group that's assigned to a share's POSIX permissions. Am I expecting too much from SL? Anyone else had this problem, and know the trick to solving it?
Can't believe this is happening - something so basic and important. I've wasted countless hours already with numerous other SL issues. Wish I'd never set eyes on the thing but it's been forced down my throat - we needed a new XServe, which turned up with SL installed of course. I'd gladly do a clean install of plain Leopard over the top, but apparently that's asking for (even more) trouble.
This POSIX nonsense is just the latest obstacle I need to get sorted.
Thanks for any help,

Lost AFP connections after upgrading to 10.6.7
Hi all,
I've just upgraded our OS X server to 10.6.7. All seemed to go fine, but for some reason now none of our users are able to connect to AFP shares any longer, they just get back an error in the Finder saying "connection failed".
I've tried looking in the AFP log files and I can see authenticated connections coming in ok. I've also tried disabling AFP and just using SMB and everyone is able to connect through SMB fine.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong or how to trouble shoot this any further?
Thanks in advance.To add my two cents: I upgraded the server to 10.6.7, but clients were still on 10.6.6, and didn't encounter the problem. We are using Active Directory logins via Kerberos though, so presumably just didn't run into the clear-text password issue.
My own hassle (briefly for now though, as might need to start a new thread on it) is that my users are still frequently getting these cursed lags/lockups when saving files to the server. I was praying the update would fix that, ho ho.
Also tried updating one of the clients to 10.6.7... no better. Similar lags if I try SMB instead too. Didn't get all this nonsense under Tiger, and lost count of all the tests & changes that have been tried, including clean SL re-installs.
It's driving us all bonkers, so any clues would be welcome! -
Can't acces AFP shares on PPC's on specific server
We have a naughty problem at the office for accessing shared folders .
We use G5 Xserve + Xraid serving home access to 12 macs.
Our problem started when we updated all machines to 10.5.2 (nor did we have a problem with 10.5.1 or with 10.5.0).
All machines login correctly, fetch their folders with their home accesses located in the Xserve, as allways did, BUT :
·Almost all the machines running Leopard (except two) CANNOT access shared items. They get Error -5002
·The old machines running Tiger (G3 Imac's) acess shared items without problem.
So after many weeks doing multiple tests, we got the following conclusions:
·Problem is not server related.
·Problem si related to Leopard clients , although not in all (machines who can connect to local server are INTELs, the one who can't are PPCs)
·Problem is not related to the machine, but with the account (accounts that can access shared items do it on any machine, and accounts that can't, don't do it on any machine)
·It seems that the trouble is related somewhat with Kerberos authentication, but it's not related to tickets (renewing them is no use)
·If we create new account with new name, it can access shared items
·If we create new account with same name that of the faulty one (renaming the later), it CANNOT access shared items.
· We are able to connect to remote shared folders with a different remote server (dual G4) from every machine
We have got a problem in the office, and no clue of solving it.... Have read all over apple discussions over the internet, and although some people have similar issues, they are not as close as ours....
And none of the solutions proposed have solved the problem.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, cause we are starting to get desperate
Thanks everyone.Hi Ryan!
You've been given some good and useful answers but I'm going to recommend a couple of alternatives.
If your Macs are relatively few (less than 10) in a Windows world then I'd suggest looking into a better SMB client than the one built into Mac OS X. Dave or ADMitMac from http://www.thursby.com will support the higher security level of the Windows server as well as Windows printing.
If your Macs are a significant portion of your overall Windows server's users (more than 20%) then I would recommend you install ExtremeZ-IP from http://www.grouplogic.com on your server. EZIP uses AFP, which is the Mac's native and best supported file sharing protocol. You should be using the AFP protocol for any significant amount of Mac file sharing.
Both solutions will cost you money, but they are well worth it depending on your need for stability and reliability. You're talking about your network infrastructure in a production environment. Don't be cheap when investing.
And both companies do offer trial versions of their software for you to evaluate.
Good luck! bill

Issue with AFP (Buffalo Linkstation?) mounts on 10.5.7
I have a Buffalo LinkStation Pro which I use to share folders with on my local network. I have it set up so that AFP is used and user permissions are in use. With 10.5.6 I didn't have any problems.
However, after the upgrade to 10.5.7 on one of the shares a single directory won't show up in Finder (all other directories on the specific share show up fine). Looking at the volume contents in terminal shows the directory. Likewise, Lightroom can access it with content that was imported earlier. Lightroom can't access the directory when trying to import new content.
Disconnecting from the NAS and reconnecting with SMB instead of AFP shows the folder fine.
The problem and solution works on both of my Macs.
Is this an issue with the 10.5.7 update? The firmware in the NAS hasn't been upgraded and no other changes have taken place.I was looking for something like this. I have just bought a WD My Book World NAS drive. I connected it to my old router (G) and discovered it was too slow to wirelessly stream high bitrate music or movies. I then bought a Belkin N+ router which resolved this issue. However I have trouble with the mounts. When I wake my MacBook from sleep I can normally see the drive under Shares in Finder, but after some minutes it disappears. If I Go -> Network in Finder it turns up, but will not connect. The funny thing is I can be streaming music from the darn thing without interruption! The network shares on the desktop also turns on/off erratically. I can still access the folder contents from these even that the drive is not visible in Finder.
The NAS is set up for AFP on all shares which should be ok. I have tried both dynamic and fixed IP address on the NAS, but my Mac gets it dynamically. I'll try a fixed IP for this.
People are talking about automatic mount of network resources on start up. I came from Windblows and do not know all the fancy Unix commands and config files stuff. So how do you folks do this?
Will be much appreciated, thanks! -
Server Not Showing on Client Desktop - afp
I've been having trouble lately with logging into my home iMac from my MacBook via the internet (Go->Connect to Server (afp://server DNS url)). It worked just fine until a couple of weeks ago, and now when the connection is made by choosing my account name in the "Select volumes to mount" pane, my iMac account doesn't mount in the MB Finder sidebar. My account name is greyed out in the "Select volumes to mount" pane if I attempt to connect again, so there's an open afp session somewhere that I can neither locate or kill. If I try to connect to the Public Folder in my iMac account, it mounts right up in the MB sidebar and I can disconnect it using the little triangle eject button. I have no idea where to start to resolve this - I've restarted my router a few times since this started and that hasn't made any difference. Also checked both computers' network settings, but the fact that I can connect to another account tells me they aren't the problem.
Dear Friend ,
For Your Issue . First You Delete the %Temp% Data in the Client System . After you have Delete the Local Registration Folder and Clear the Data from SARi Table. then You Reinstall the Add on . It will install the Client System .

Having trouble connecting to a Lacie Ethernet Disk from a Mac running OS 9.2.2.
No other networking issues with this station.Is there a patch or an upgrade to the afp software on OS9.I am not an Apple employee, just a User like you who reads these forums. I answer many of the questions having to do with OS 9-era Networking and Printing.
I have never heard of such a patch from Apple.
If they are so convinced there is a patch, needed to make their equipment work properly, I am sure that they can provide you with a link to it. Asking for a Mac Specialist or a Supervisor can sometimes remind the first-line responders that they do not get Hazardous Duty Pay to deal with cases that are unusual or difficult. You may need to explain to them that if they cannot be more helpful, their equipment will go back in the box and on its way back to them. -
I'm running afp on a 10.4.9 server and I'm having some strange issues. I'm wondering if someone can help me troubleshoot this issue.
Due to some machine room issues, we had to shutdown and reboot the machine last weekend. After that, we've had issues with users saving to the afp server. For example we've had issues with users opening excel files and not being able to click "save" to save them. They must do a "save as". Also a host of temp files are saved within the directory as well... Also big files, often times users will have to download them locally, then make modifications then save to the server. We had no troubles previous to the restart.
Any suggestions?
Mac OS X (10.4.9)http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/office2004/topic2741.html
"Dave Provine
I'm not that folks quite understand. The fix is to be sure that the UIDs are unique on the workstations. Of course they have to be unique on the server.
Every time you setup a new OS X workstation, the first user is UID 501, so if you happen to setup a bunch of workstations with just one user each, all of them will have the same UID. THAT is the cause of the save bug. You must change the UIDs on each user's computer."
"Dave Provine
This should work to change UID and permissions. From http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-12077.html
Changing UIDs in the terminal is a simple NetInfo property overwrite:
sudo niutil -createprop . /users/userName uid XXX
(replace userName as appropriate and XXX with the new UID number)
Finding and changing UIDs across the filesystem is a one-liner command:
sudo find / -user UID -exec chown userName {} \;
(replace UID with the old UID number and userName with the new user name to associate file ownership.)" -
Trouble Creating Share Point via 'sharing' Command
I'm having trouble creating a share point via the command line using the 'sharing' utility. Basically just trying to script the creation of a /WindowsShares/ share via SMB.
Here is the command:
<pre class=command>sharing -a /WindowsShares/ -n WindowsShares -s 001 -g 000 -i 00 -o 0 -t 1'</pre>
It seems like everything works. <pre class=command>sharing -l</pre> shows this:
<pre class=command>name: WindowsShares
path: /WindowsShares/
afp: {
name: WindowsShares
shared: 0
guest access: 0
inherit perms: 0
ftp: {
name: WindowsShares
shared: 0
guest access: 0
smb: {
name: WindowsShares
shared: 1
guest access: 0
inherit perms: 0
oplocks: 0
strict locking: 1
directory mask: 493
create mask: 420
}</pre>
However, it doesn't seem to write anything to the /etc/smb.conf file... So nothing works.
If I enter the following in smb.conf the share does work:
<pre class=command>[WindowsShares]
oplocks = 0
map archive = no
vfs objects = darwin_acls
path = /WindowsShares
read only = no
strict locking = 1
inherit permissions = 0
comment = macosx
create mask = 0644
guest ok = 0
directory mask = 0755</pre>
However, even after entering this information - when I check 'Share Points' within WGM the share IS listed - but the 'Share this item and its contents' is NOT checked and thus, is confusing and can't be modified from WGM.
Am I missing something when I am creating this share via the CLI?
I assumed using 'sharing' worked the same way as using WGM and checking 'Share this item and its contents' - that works perfectly.
I tried this with 10.4.8 and 10.4.9 Server (Universal).
Any help would be appreciated!Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply...
I ran the 'serveradmin' command to discover the SMB settings before and after the change via WGM. I restarted the SMB service as well...
<pre class=command>S999EDC1:~ root# serveradmin settings smb:\*
smb:encrypt passwords = yes
smb:log level = 2
smb:display charset = "UTF-8-MAC"
smb:security = "ads"
smb:deadtime = 5
smb:hide dot files = "yes"
smb:guest account = "unknown"
smb:client ntlmv2 auth = "yes"
smb:preferred master = no
smb:defer sharing violations = "no"
smb:adminCommands:homes = yes
smb:adminCommands:serverRole = "domainmember"
smb:adminCommands:ldapRole = "1.1 - hosting a master LDAP directory server\n"
smb:allow trusted domains = yes
smb:netbios name = "S999EDC1"
smb:lanman auth = "YES"
smb:vfs objects = "darwin_acls"
smb:wins support = no
smb:brlm = "yes"
smb:max smbd processes = 0
smb:server string = "S999EDC1 OS X Server"
smb:os level = 8
smb:domain logons = no
smb:passdb backend = "opendirectorysam guest"
smb:dos charset = "CP437"
smb:realm = "EDU.CBE.AB.CA"
smb:unix charset = "UTF-8-MAC"
smb:auth methods = "guest opendirectory"
smb:local master = no
smb:domain master = no
smb:map to guest = "Never"
smb:use spnego = yes
smb:printer admin = "@admin, @staff"
smb:ntlm auth = "YES"
smb:workgroup = "CBEEDU"</pre>
The only difference was that smb:workgroup = "CBEEDU" and smb:log level = 2 were reversed. The settings were the same though. Thought that was odd.
When making the change via 'sharing', there is no change.
Is there any other documentation on 'sharing' other than the man page and CLI Guide from Apple? I haven't been able to find anything concrete.
