Likewise 4.1 Release Notes

Mac OS X
--------

If you are using Likewise Open, do not use the "Active Directory" entry of the "Directory Utility" dialog box. To join an Active Directory domain on OS X for Likewise Open, use the command line feature domainjoin-cli which is located in /opt/centeris/bin.

Note that for the command line domain join utility, you will need root credentials.

Because of a limitation with Active Directory, the local hostname cannot be more than 15 characters.

To find the local hostname of a Mac, on the Apple menu , click System Preferences, and then click Sharing. Under the Computer Name box, click Edit. Your Mac's local hostname is displayed.

Note: localhost is not a valid name on any platform.


--------
The default template for home directories does not map correctly in Leopard. On clients running Leopard, edit the following line in /etc/samba/lwiauthd.conf:

Change the "template homedir" setting to the following:

template homedir = /Users/%D/%U


--------
On Leopard, changing a domain user's password from the passwd utility will not work.  This is a known issue.  The password can be successfully changed from the System Preferences->Accounts dialog box->Change Password utility.


--------
When you are logged in with a domain user, you will not be able to su to root.  Instead, ssh into the root account.


--------
If you're unable to log in using any domain user after reboot using a WiFi adapter, the workaround is to manually specify the DNS server for that wireless adapter.
