10.5-directory-info
From radmind
The following listing of directories and files for Mac OS X 10.5 has been compiled from discussions on the Radmind-users mailing list. It is intended as a reference for on-going development of negative transcripts for Mac OS X 10.5.
/Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos for local use, per system, with Identity Services?
/Library/Preferences/DirectoryServices/ for local use, per system? override with site-specific positive transcripts for specific files? Possibly could be managed with Radmind. Could be harder to manage if binding to AD.
/private/var/samba/shares/ seems to contain one file per local user? contents created with the user account?
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.smb.server.plist Stores SMB/CIFS server info unique for that local computer and network
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist Always changing, after every software update run
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist Varies per computer, gets crazier if you're on a KVM?
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist New in Leopard?
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist Stores the username of the last logged-in user. Also contains settings for autologin, display of login window lists versus fields, login window text, etc. Probably best to manage with Radmind.
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.identification.plist Stores network information unique for the local computer
/System/Library/Extensions/Caches/com.apple.kext.info New location for Extensions cache in 10.5. Replaces /System/Library/Extensions/Extensions.kextcache
/home ????
/net used by autofs for host mounting
/private/etc/auto_home ????
/private/etc/auto_master ????
/private/var/db/krb5kdc/ but what about its non-unique contents, such as the .acl and .conf file?
