Loco For Local Mcx

摘要

In the November issue, we looked at getting started with MCX by using MCX records in the local directory service. We set some policies for the loginwindow using the Guest Computer object, verified they worked, and noted that the Accounts preference pane had certain controls grayed out to match our management settings. Since local directory service entries in Leopard are simply plist files stored in /var/db/dslocalodes/Default, replicating MCX settings to multiple machines can be as simple as copying a few files. If you are going to use the local directory service to store MCX data, you'll quickly discover that putting all your management settings into the Guest Computer object doesn't give you very much flexibility.
