From radmind

Tried using this negative for first Leopard loadset. I did a default install of leopard onto a reformatted macbookpro. Radmind assiatnt got to %76 at /net and then I got operation timed out /net/broadcasthost Any ideas what to do next?

Cheers.

Sure - add /net to the negative!

Hello,

I too am having the same problem. I have tried adding /net to the negative transcript as well as /net/broadcasthost and /net/localhost. I have also tried removing /net from the transcript but nothing has worked. And in a desperate attempt to get it working I have also tried to delete the /net folder from my system but I get a 'resource is busy' message. Each time Radmind comes to the /net folder while making it's positive transcript it returns an 'operation timed out' message and then crashes. Interestingly if I try an rm -rf /net/broadcasthost I get an 'operation timed out' from the terminal as well. So far I have tried using Radmind on cherry installs of Leopard on a 17" white iMac, 20" Aluminum iMac, G5 tower and a powerbook G4. Every machine has given me the same error message.

It appears that I've just solved the mystery. In a lucky break I discovered that LDAP was enabled in Directory Services, though I had never enabled it (must be a default of the install for some inexplicable reason), and once I had disabled it the 'broadcasthost' folder disappeared in the /net folder. With this folder gone Radmind was able to go on its merry way. I imagine this will still cause problems if you need to have LDAP enabled, but at least this will be a workaround for the initial loadset creation.

Has anyone that is using LDAP found a resolution for this? I have added the same entries to the negative transcripts as Nancy and still continue to get errors regarding Broadcasthost. Any help would be appreciated.
