Same way we used to do it... well, same way I used to do it:
sudo passwd root |

So how does one enable/disable root login access in 10.5? If I remember correctly, this was previously done through a menu pulldown in NetInfo.

said by 93254336  :Didn't Mac OS X server migrate over to LDAP? - Dan For Open Directory it's been LDAP based for a while, since 10.3 at least. If you opened Directory Access, Netinfo would be listed first before AD or OD. |

I tried the Directory Utility method on 2 Macs. On one (a MacBook), it worked like a charm. This is so much simpler than the old (Netinfo Manager) way. Then I tried it on the other machine (an iMac). Everything seemed ok, and the Verify said that the NFS server (my Linux box) seemed to be fine. But then when I clicked Apply, I did not end up with a mount. In fact, there was no Servers directory under /Network. Another difference is that in the successful case on the MacBook, there is a SHARED section in the sidebar with an All... under that. The All... acts as if it were /Network (it has Servers etc. under it). On the iMac there is no SHARED in the sidebar (unless I create the mount manually using Go->Connect to Server). I tried creating Servers manually under /Network, but it did not help. And when I restarted, Servers was gone! Any ideas on how to debug this?
Thanks.

Thanks, that works, and automounts, great!
My only problem now is if I try to browse to the mount point, finder hangs and eventually it says there was a problem and a "disconnect" button pops up. :/
I can cd there in Terminal.app and it all works fine. Bug in Finder?

This article:
»www.thinksecret.com/news/0608leo···ots.html
Mentions "NetInfo functionality has been removed from Mac OS X entirely." but doesn't say what replaced it or how to do things that NetInfo provided.
Does Apple provide documentation between major releases when they remove something like this?
