10.6.5 Server packages are gone! Not on Apple's site anymore

Yep, I think you definitely dodged several bullets. I installed 10.6.5 on an OD master. It hosed the LDAP configuration. Thank goodness for backups...

As far as I can tell, it is still there http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324

Yep. You are correct. Sorry about that. I downloaded the update when it first came out, and installed it fine. I had a problem with the machine's hostname changing, which caused iChat (jabberd) to gack. But figured out that was due to the way I am using split DNS. A 'changeip' fixed it and I am running 10.6.5 just fine on my server now. I have no idea where it disappeared to. I would expect it back within days.

It sure did, 10.6.5 broke my LDAP, DNS, and I regreat doing it, half of the services that require DNS do not work now. What a garbage release. Those packages should've NOT be released! DO NOT UPGRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Folks,

We have deployed 10.6.5 to 8 production servers here without issue, including OD, DNS, etc.We are NOT using SSL for our OD, so that may be something to look at.

Is everyone having issues with OD using SSL?

All that said, it looks like I won't be updating our mail server until the dovecot issue is resolved.

It looks like the SSL issue is being chatted about here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12568379

I updated a 10.6.4 server to 10.6.5.

The server is open directory master, and yes, there were huge problems with the following symptoms :
- LDAP server broken
- directory services process using more than 100% cpu

If I checked a directory services log, there was the following error :
Misconfiguration detected in hash 'Global SID'
Group 'com.apple.sharepoint.group.5' (/Local/Default) - ID 406
Group 'com.apple.access remoteae' (/Local/Default) - ID 406

So there was a duplicate not in the LDAP configuration but in the local users directory : a duplicate of ID 406.
As I didn't have time to restore all server from backup, I was able to delete the duplicate ID, restore directory services from backup, and then it came back to normal.

Other services were not touche, but I don't use email services.

DNS was not broken.

Just an FYI, for those running their own Software Update servers, the Mac OS X Server 10.6.4 updates were restored for download as of 11/13/10.

What use are those, you can't downgrade can you?

A new version of 10.6.5 was posted this afternoon:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4452
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4249

Same thing here. The update destroyed all LDAP-based services (iCal, AddressBook and user accounts).

We too had to restore from Time Machine backup. For some reason we lost access to our wikis in the process. Any ideas on how to get them working back in 10.6.4?

The various gremlins I had after updating to 10.6.5 via software update are gone now that I have downloaded the combo updater presently on Apple's site and run that on my server via DVD. So far, anyway. Another wasted couple of hrs or so caused by some pimply-faced wannabe releasing updates early or otherwise half-baked. 😟

Great, now I can spend a couple of hours downloading it again.
