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:

Is there a way to add routes using the add route command in AIX to add different routes and bind them to different NICS installed in the box? (2 Replies)
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...

I'm having some problems here, and was wondering whether it was an Apache problem. We have two firewalls where I'm at, Apache is installed on the second one.

opendirectoryd(8) BSD System Manager's Manual opendirectoryd(8)NAME
opendirectoryd -- is a launchd(8) job for client access to local or remote directory systems
SYNOPSIS
opendirectoryd [--version]
DESCRIPTION
opendirectoryd is a launchd(8) job which replaces "DirectoryService" as a core part of the Open Directory technology. Several modules are
provided that allow access to existing directory systems:
o Active Directory
o LDAP
o Local Database
o NIS
Modules
opendirectoryd modules have specific capabilities:
Authentication password verification, password changes, etc.
Connection general connections used for queries, record modifications, etc.
Discovery location and prioritization of servers to contact (a.k.a., service discovery)
Unspecified a generic module used for unspecified purpose (usually to extend capabilities)
Third party plugins developed for "DirectoryService" are supported via dspluginhelperd(8).
Open Directory
Open Directory is a technology which includes a client API abstraction layer, a directory server, and the opendirectoryd daemon. This allows
clients to utilize a single API to access a variety of directory servers simultaneously or configure their own directory server.
Open Directory forms the foundation of how Mac OS X accesses all authoritative configuration information (users, groups, mounts, managed
desktop data, etc.). This allows use of virtually any directory system via Apple and third party modules.
Configuration of opendirectoryd is done via "System Preferences" under the "Users & Groups" preference pane. Advanced settings are available
by using "Open Directory Utility..." within "Users & Groups" preference pane.
More information is available from the Open Directory website:
http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/opendirectory/
Open Directory Server
Open Directory Server utilizes OpenLDAP which is included as part of Mac OS X Client, Mac OS X Server, and Darwin. OpenLDAP provides a robust
and scalable platform for serving directory-based information for both standalone and networked systems.
NFSv4 Domain name
The following will set the default domain name used to map user and group identities in NFSv4 client/server operations.
dscl . -create Config/NFSv4Domain RealName <Example.com>
This command requires root privileges.
FILES
Files are stored in various locations for opendirectoryd depending on use. A list of folders and files are shown below.
System files provided by Apple and should only change with operating system updates:
/System/Library/OpenDirectory/Configurations/
node configuration files
/System/Library/OpenDirectory/DynamicNodeTemplates/
dynamic node definitions
/System/Library/OpenDirectory/Mappings/ record/attribute mapping tables
/System/Library/OpenDirectory/Modules/ modules to be loaded on demand

/System/Library/OpenDirectory/record-schema.plist
OpenDirectory record/attribute schema
/System/Library/OpenDirectory/permissions.plist
OpenDirectory global record/attribute permissions
User defined files:
/Library/OpenDirectory/Templates/ templates used for node styles (module layout and mappings)
/Library/OpenDirectory/Mappings/ record/attribute mapping tables
Files that change periodically are located in:
/Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/Configurations/
node configuration files
/Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/DynamicData/
dynamic data stored by nodes
/Library/Preferences/OpenDirectory/.LogDebugAtStartOnce
enables debug logging until process exits or system is rebooted (reboot required)
