[K12OSN] Authenticate to OS X Open Directory SOLVED

[John Arends]

Can you mac users get a gnome session running in a window? If so, how?

Here I go, replying to my own post!

The problem appears to be solved.  

I had to wait a few days, but I was finally able to restart my K12LTSP
server and after that, all the authentication seemed to be working just
fine!  After a few days of Googling just about every combination of linux,
ldap, kerberos, authentication, os x, open directory, etc... I found a
posting from someone who said that it took a restart of gdm for the
changes made by authconfig to take hold.

So, rather than just restarting gdm, I restarted the whole server.  Now,
happily, all my OD users can log in to the Linux Terminal Server and get
an X session running on their Mac.  Or, they can find an LTSP client on
campus and log in there and get access to all their home directories.

I am a happy camper!
