Leopard client controls view of tiger server share point

Hi, recently purchased a Mac Mini running Leopard all patched. Connected via afp to a Xserve RAID, Xserve running a sharepoint using ACL's. In list view the leopard client controls the list view on the Xserve, meaning that all the other Tiger clients see the leopard clients folder structure when they connect to the sharepoint. I have not changed any settings on the Xserve, just re-propogated the permissions and ACL's.
Any ideas would be great,
Andy

Can you clarify what you mean here?

  • Setting Default Views of Mounted Server Shares

    In OS X 10.5 server, how do I change the owner of a volume? So I can do the stuff below? Do I change the owner in the Finder...? Or do you use the OS X Server admin utility type programs?

    Have you tried this?

    You can set custom view options (window size, icon placement, and so forth) that clients see when they connect to a server volume via Apple File Service (AFP).
    You can customize the size, position, and other view options of the window that clients see when they connect to a server volume via Apple File Service (AFP). You can do this on a per-volume basis.
    To customize view options, follow these steps:
    1. Log in to a client computer.
    2. Using Connect to Server, connect to the target volume as the owner of the volume; the owner must not be an administrator account (see Notes 1, 2, and 3, below).
    3. Make any desired changes to the window position, view mode (Icons, List, Columns), icon arrangement, or any of the settings found in View Options window (Command-J).
    4. Disconnect from the server volume by dragging it to the Trash.

  • Mavericks won't connect to Snow Leopard server share points

    I have 3 imacs, running mavericks which won't successfully log onto Snow Leopard server share points.
    The server appears on the list on the left and i get to a login screen when i select the server.
    I enter the username and password and the box just shakes.
    However if I tick the "access as administrator" in the user prefs on the server, it can connect, however i don't want certain users to have admin rights.
    The strange thing is, is that if i choose to login with a user name and password for one of the older macs (10.6), i can log in. But that defeats the object.
    This is obviously an authentication issue between mavericks and SL.
    Any one else had this?
    Thanks in advance.

    The "Trust, but verify" follows...
    Launch the MS-DOS command box on Microsoft Windows XP.
    Verify IP network connectivity with ping. Ping the Samba/CIFS server by IP, then by name. Ensure that the box you're connecting to is the one you think it is; that can be via telnet or web connections or otherwise; make sure your IP network is configured the way you believe it is, and you're getting to the host you think you're reaching.
    If the IP address connection works but the domain name (host name) does not, then debug the DNS validity with dig or nslookup, and ensure the client can get DNS translations.
    Verify that the [Windows registry settings|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1590] allow access to Samba/CIFS shares.
    If you're not running Microsoft Windows 7 and the x86 gear here supports it, definitely upgrade. Windows 7 is a vast improvement over earlier releases, including over Windows XP.

  • Can a Snow Leopard client connect to a Lion Server?

    I have an XSAN setup with two Mac Mini servers.
    I have a few Xserve lying around and I want to make use of them.
    One Duo Core which is not working at the moment. I think I can install Lion on that one? Right?
    Then I have two G5 - none intel, which I'm thinking I'll reinstall Snow Leopard on and use them as clients.
    Can they connect to a Lion Server? I have a few XSAN licenses left which I think I need for OS's older than Lion?
    I short, can a Snow Leopard client connect to a Lion Server?

    One Duo Core which is not working at the moment. I think I can install Lion on that one? Right?
    You can't install Lion on a Core Duo-based system It requries Core2 Duo as a baseline. The Core Duo is a 32-bit chip whereas the Core2 Duo is 64-bit.
    Then I have two G5 - none intel, which I'm thinking I'll reinstall Snow Leopard on and use them as clients.
    Nope, again. Snow Leopard requires an Intel-based system. The highest you can go with the PowerPC machines is Leopard (10.5.x)
    Can they connect to a Lion Server? I have a few XSAN licenses left which I think I need for OS's older than Lion?
    This may be irrelevant given the above, but define 'connect' please. There are a myriad of ways of 'connecting' a client to a server. In many cases they don't have to be the same OS, platform, processor or anything else (how many web servers do you think are running Mac OS X to match your client?

  • Binding Snow Leopard Clients to 10.5.8 server 2

    Has anyone found a solution to this infuriating problem of not being able to pair a Snow Leopard client to 10.5.8 server?
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10969925

    I am not sure I am doing what you suggest correctly.
    From the directory utility i was able to pull down the File menu
    and connect to the xserve using the diradmin account. This caused
    a new path to appear in the search policy tab.
    However, i still cannot bind to the server and still get the
    authentication error when I try.
    After rereading your post, I realized that you had added the path
    a different way. So I deleted the one I had added via File -->
    Connect and just went to the Search Policy tab and added a custom
    path the way you said. Same results in the end. I could not bind.
    I may just install 10.5 on these computers and be done with it.
    My method was a little different. In Directory Utility, I went
    to Advanced Settings, hit the '+' and added the open directory
    server. Then I went to the Services tab, selected LDAPv3, and
    hit the little pencil to edit. Then I selected the open
    directory server, hit Edit, and tried to bind, but it wouldn't
    work at first. Back in the Directory Servers tab, I noticed that
    the little status light was grey instead of green. Then I went
    to the Search Policy tab and noticed that the open directory
    server wasn't in the path, so I went to Custom Path and manually
    added it. After that, I was able to bind and the little status
    light went green.
    However, in this process I also did some other messing around on
    the command line. After the first time I tried to bind and
    couldn't, I quit the Directory Utility and opened a Terminal
    window. As root, I wiped out the /private/etc/krb5.keytab file
    and the contents of the /private/var/db/krb5kdc directory, and
    then rebooted. That is:
    cd /private/etc
    sudo mv krb5.keytab krb5.keytab.orig
    cd /private/var/db/krb5kdc

  • Illustrator CS6 hangs saving files to local HD while having multiple server share points mounted

    Mac OS 10.6
    Illustrator CS6
    Illustrator CS6 hangs (spinning beach ball) when saving files to the computer's local HD while having multiple server share points mounted.
    I am NOT opening or saving the file to or from a server.
    The server is mounted so that I can move my saved file to it once complete.
    Unmounting the servers fixes the problem and Illustrator CS6 returns to being normal (not causing a spinning beach ball).
    This is repeatable, not intermitent.

    We were having similar issues working over a network. I believe it's a Mac OS 10.6 issue, something to do with the Mac finder searching for file dates or metadata on the servers. From what I understand, this has been fixed in OS 10.7. We can't yet move to 10.7 and after trying many possible fixes, found that a Mac finder alternative, Path Finder, fixed most server delays. It's not free, but you can give it a 30 day trial to see if it fixes your issue. Here is a link to discussions about other suggested fixes:

  • Binding Snow Leopard Clients to 10.5.8 server

    We have just purchased three new iMacs to add into our current network. We are using Network Home Directories hosted on an Intel Xserve running 10.5.8 server. The iMacs are all loaded with Snow Leopard (10.6.1).
    I cannot bind the computers to the server to allow login using network accounts. I attempt this via System Preferences-> Accounts -> Login Options -> Join Network Account Server.
    The error message is "Authentication failed. Please check the name and password and try again."
    I have attempted to add the computer using both the first authentication window (when clicking Join), and the Open Directory Utility.
    I can add computers using 10.5.8 client. I was also able to install Snow Leopard (10.6) as an upgrade to one of the 10.5.8 machines and maintain the network login functionality.
    Thanks for any help or advice.

  • Leopard client on Tiger Server

    Hello All,
    I'm the sysadmin hat wearer at work. We're running PHD and OD for a collection of iMacs in the office here with Tiger Server and Tiger Clients, (runs well).
    However, we just hired a new guy and have a new iMac coming in with Leopard on it. I've seen posts out there saying there are a lot of problems getting a Leopard Client to work with a Tiger Server. Unfortunately our Tiger server config has been customized so much over the last couple of years that I'm just not ready undertake the upgrade on the server OS yet and will likely just buy a new server down the road anyway.
    My question is, should I downgrade the new machine coming in to Tiger or cross my fingers and try to make the Leopard client work with the Tiger Server, what kind of issues should I be expecting/watching for?
    Any insight would be much appreciated!

    Hi
    You may want to consult this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7295681#7295681
    Not entirely relevant but it does contain something that might be useful? You are only talking about one Leopard client so it should not be that much of a problem? Although how far you have customized your environment from the 'norm' - whatever that is - may affect how successful you are?
    If its a new model iMac I doubt very much if you can 'downgrade' anyway. Have a look at the mac specific system disks that come with it as that will be the lowest version OS that can be installed. You may be able to downgrade it with some effort if you really try - I doubt it - but what would be the point of that? 'Breaking' something to 'fix' an unknown is never really successful is it?
    As for posts mentioning problems? That is what the forum is for. It does not necessarily follow that you will see those problems. There are just as many - if not more - with little or no problems who - of course - don't post.

  • Automount Share points not showing up?

    So I've got a Share point named 'Documents', 'Enable automount' is check and it has a custom path of '/Network/Documents'. (BTW, is the appropriate place for that?)
    When I log in as a user I can see that the directory '/Network/Documents' is being created (by clicking on 'All...' in the finder sidebar), but nothing useful is happening with it... double-clicking on it takes me into the folder about 0.5 to 1 second then "redirects" me back to the 'Network' folder.
    I don't get usable icons (on the desktop) for the 'Documents' share until I go Shared > MyServer > Documents ... only then do I see the share point in any sort of usable state.
    Am I missing something? I assumed that making something automount would place it on the desktop or the sidebar or something when the user logs in.

    +I assumed that making something automount would place it on the desktop or the sidebar or something when the user logs in.+
    No. An automount only works if your server is configured to host a shared LDAP domain (OD Master) and the client is bound to that domain (so that it can read the mount record).
    With that said, there are two types of automounts available via AFP:
    *A Dynamic Automount*, which is typically used for the home directory share point(s). Dynamic mounts "eject" and remount as the user who is logging in at login time. The mount path is configured automatically in /Network/Servers.
    For example, a share point configured to automount (located at /Volumes/Data/Homes on the server with name myserver.myco.lan) will dynamically automount at this path on the client:
    /Network/Servers/myserver.myco.lan/Volumes/Data/Homes
    *A Static Automount*, which is typically used for sharing common files; a shared Library is an example. Static automounts mount at /Network/mountname, and are done at startup time. Generally speaking, these will only work if one of the following is true:
    1. AFP Guest access is on for the share point being statically automounted. (Make sure that AFP guest access is on for the AFP service and on for the share point. Disable it for any other share points that don't need AFP guest access.) In this case, the automount will be mounted as the AFP guest user, not the currently logged-in or connected user.
    2. The client system is bound to an Open Directory Master via directory binding, and Kerberos is working properly on the master. In this case, the static automount will mount as the logged-in user.
    If you just want to make a share point mount automatically at login time, consider adding the AFP share point's URL to the user's login items instead of creating an automount. This will mount the share point in the "classic" manner, where it appears in the Computer window and on the Desktop.
    To do so, you can manage the login items (loginwindow.plist or com.apple.loginitems.plist) for the user or group via Workgroup Manager. Open TextEdit (for example), and type the URL for connecting to the share point - afp://myserver.myco.lan/stuff, for example - and drag that text onto the Desktop to create an AFP Internet Location file. Then drag that file into the login items section of Workgroup Manager to add it.
    If your server has Kerberos running, you're set. When a client logs in, he/she gets a Kerberos TGT from the KDC and a service ticket for AFP which mounts the share point; no name and password to re-enter. If not, you can check the "connect with user's name and password" box in the login items section of Workgroup Manager to have login window hold the user's name and password temporarily and enter it for him/her.
    Also note that Leopard clients don't automatically show mounted share points on the Desktop (but they do appear in the Computer window of the Finder and in the SHARED section of the sidebar). If you'd prefer to have users see shares on the Desktop again, you can manage that via Workgroup Manager's Finder preferences section.
    Hope this helps!

  • Windows 7 Client 'sees' an old version of windows 2012 server share

    Hi All,
    I have a problem which seems to be a common theme looking at other threads. Here's the overview of the problem:-
    I have multiple windows 7 clients and a windows 8.1 client within a 2008 Server in a domain.
    I also have a Windows 2012R2 Server which is not joined to the domain. There is a Share on the 2012R2 which has the Caching Option turned off. Everyone full control on Share & File permissions.
    One of the Windows 7 machines in Explorer when it looks at
    \\2012server\share sees an old version of the folder. It seems that SMB 2 chaching is working too well. Not even pressing F5 or clicking View, Refresh updates windows explorer.
    It took a reboot to get the workstation to see the up to date contents of the share on the 2012 server.
    We don't seem to have that behaviour with that client against the 2008 server.
    I have seen this behaviour on another machine un-related to us at another location which was in a workgroup with a 2012 server and no domain.
    Questions:-
    Is there some sort of problem with Windows 7 workstations working against 2012 Servers in a non-domain setting or is it just Windows 7 against 2012 servers period?
    I understand that Windows 7 utilises SMB1 & SMB2. SMB2 introduced caching. If the server has turned off the share cache option should the client cache the contents of the share or the information about the files & folders & 'file not found'
    information?
    I want to open a file handle to a file on a network share so I can read and write data to it. But I also want to know that when I look at the folder to open the file I'm actually looking at the live version of the folder and files in the folder and
    not a cached version of the folder. If it's a cached version the file might be there already but I won't see it.
    Is there an API call that tells the client to get a fresh view of the server share so I can be absolutely sure that when I look for a file on the server I'm getting the correct answer and not one from cache.
    I first posted the question with the same subject "Windows 7 Client 'sees' an old version of windows 2012 server share" in the Windows 7 Networking Fourm
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/23bf3627-987b-4c27-8062-85a284a2cda4/windows-7-client-sees-an-old-version-of-windows-2012-server-share?forum=w7itpronetworking and it was suggested I repost in here. Please do take the time to read
    the thread which will save time with suggestions that have already been covered.
    As the computers that can be affected by this problem are not mine I cannot enforce or guarantee that any of my 'client base' will apply any hotfixes. I will also not have the ability to tweak registry settings as I can't guarantee Admin Access.
    It seems that we need to go back to SMB1 as all the tweaks to SMB since those days have introduced problems with the basic requirement of sharing files from a share on a server for Read/Write purposes. I have tried turning a network back to SMB1 and that
    has resolved a lot of the issues but then I found a post/MS blog that states not to leave the network on SMB1
    The Caching option of the share had already been turned off. Surely Windows clients should not cache any information about the share but I think that is not the case.
    Thanks is advance
    Robert

    Hi Shaon,
    Thanks for looking into this.
    If this is a known issue, why isn't the hotfix rolled into a general windows update if this is a known problem? However this doesn't just affect domain joined workstations.
    Surely it's basic functionality for a networked computer to access files and folders on a network file server. It's what networks were invented for at the end of the day.
    I am unable to apply hotfixes to these computers that are having the problem due to the fact they are not mine but my customers.
    At one of my customers sites I disabled SMB2 from the server and network clients as well as disabling the network adapter power saving option. This seemed to resolve the issues that I saw on one client that seemed to be 30 minutes behind the rest of
    the network.  The hotfix you link to states that it is for Domain joined computers. At my customer site the PC's are not in a domain at all, just a workgroup with workstations and a 2012r2 server. Will the hotfix be applicable to non-domain machines?
    Also many clients seemed to loose the file handle to an open file on the server. I'll get them to turn SMB2 back on at some point after I send out some updates but all the problems I see seem to be caused by the caching functions in SMB2. SMB1 is good and
    stable. It's SMB2 that seems to be causing the problems as it was designed from the ground up for caching.
    Has this networking issue been resolved in Windows 8, 8.1 and 10?
    As I am unable to apply a hotfix to 1000's of PC's that are not mine, is there an API call or something where I can get the windows client to stop lying and get me the current state of a folder on the server?
    Will Turning off ClientSideCaching fix the issue? HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MrxSmb\Parameters\
    CSCEnabled
    Or will every machine need to be tuned individually according to the following guide:-
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/7bd9978c-69b4-42bf-90cd-fc7541ccb663/forum-faq-troubleshooting-network-file-copy-slowness?forum=winserverPN ?
