Networked home folder

Dear readers and admin's


A friend of mine which does support a Mac Mini Server 10.6.8 in a school does have the problem, that he is able to access the networked home folder of users as long as the client system is 10.5.x or newer, but if he tries to access the very same home folders from systems with 10.3.x or 10.4.x, he is not able to login.

Unfortunately, I didn't find a clear declaration or statement that this is possible or not.


Does anyone have such a setup or can anyone give me some notes, help or tips?


Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards

The problem is solved.
It was a dying switch. After exchange, the users where able again to access their networked home folder from 10.3/10.4 clients


Thank you again.
Kind regards
