Mac OS X 10.5 Server: Preventing DDNS registration for multiple interfaces
When connecting Mac OS X Server version 10.5 to networks that implement dynamic DNS (DDNS), including Microsoft Active Directory networks, Mac OS X Server may register each configured network interface address in DNS. For multi-homed servers, this may cause confusion and prevent clients from connecting to the server.
four interfaces with ifconfig
all interfaces have the same mac. If is not set for unique.
but it still works.
what difference does it make to have all macs the same or different? (4 Replies)
Hi .. we have two AIX 5.3 systems with a small client server app communicating over a TCP socket.
Box A has a single network interface where the server app (in Java) opens a well known port and waits for connections from Box B.
Box B has two network interfaces, X and Y. Interface X has the... (4 Replies)
I've been bitten by using a lock or pid file to prevent multiple instances of a script. A user typed kill -9, and the pid file didn't go away. You can't trap -9. So when he tried to restart, it said "already running", and I got trouble report. Argh.
So here's what we came up with:

I have an OpenBSD 3.7 firewall with five network interfaces on it, one of which is connected to the Internet. I'd like to use the remaining four interfaces as a network switch for a single internal subnet. The main problem I have is that the DHCP daemon doesn't like multiple interfaces matching...

PasswordService(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PasswordService(8)NAME
PasswordService -- Mac OS X Server Password Server daemon
SYNOPSIS
PasswordService [-help | -ver]
PasswordService [-n]
DESCRIPTION
In the first synopsis form, PasswordService prints a usage summary or version information and quits. In the second form, PasswordService
acts as a password server.
PasswordService must be run as root; it will exit otherwise. If there is another instance of PasswordService running, it will exit.
The PasswordService daemon acts as the gatekeeper for user passwords and provides an authentication resource for all services running on the
system. The standard way to communicate with PasswordService is to use the DirectoryService API. Services authenticate via the dsDoDirN-
odeAuth() function call. If the user being authenticated has an AuthenticationAuthority attribute that begins with ";ApplePasswordServer;"
the request is routed to PasswordService for authentication. Normally, the users in an Open Directory LDAP server are managed through Pass-
wordService. The DirectoryService buffer formats for each authentication mechanism are documented in the DirServicesConst.h header file.
Some of the common methods supported are: APOP, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, MS-CHAPv2, NTLMv2 and NTLMv1.
Some authentication methods require recoverable passwords. If APOP or WEBDAV-DIGEST are enabled, the password database must contain recover-
able passwords.
The PasswordService daemon enforces password policies, such as the minimum number of characters allowed or when a password change is
required. See pwpolicy(8) for more information about password policies.
PasswordService writes three log files; the server log contains all significant activity; the replication log contains information about syn-
chronization with other password servers; the error log contains major error conditions.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-n Do not daemonize.
USAGE
In typical usage, PasswordService is launched during the boot process by launchd. To start and stop PasswordService manually, use
launchctl(8) commands. This command updates the configuration files and effect the startup state.
FILES & FOLDERS
/usr/sbin/PasswordService - the password service daemon
/Library/Logs/PasswordService/ApplePasswordServer.Error.log - the error log
/Library/Logs/PasswordService/ApplePasswordServer.Replication.log - the replication log
