10.5.8 Client suddenly stops authenticating network accounts

Hello,


We have an Xserve running OS X Server 10.6.8, and connected to it via OD are a mix of 10.5 (PPC) and 10.6 (Intel) clients. Everything was working fine until one day the network accounts on one of the 10.5 clients stopped authenticating (anyone trying to login to their accounts on that computer got the shaking login box). On further testing, it was revealed that you could still log in, but with outdated passwords, leading me to believe that there was some communication error between the server and the client about updating Manged Client preferences, or about updating passwords if they had been changed elsewhere.

Attached are console logs linked to any attempt to login with a network account and the current password associated with it (HAIL is the name of the computer):


05/09/2012 14:25:56 com.apple.loginwindow[189] MCXCCacheMCXRecordAndGraph(): [localNode createRecordWithRecordType:dsRecTypeStandard:Computers name:"HAIL"] == -14131 (Unable to set value(s) for dsAttrTypeStandard:HardwareUUID in record HAIL.)

Steps I have taken to rectify this that have failed:

- Unbinding and rebinding the client to the server.

- A forced Managed Client preferences refresh.

- Resetting all computer preferences in Workgroup Manager to default for this computer.

- Using disk utility to check and fix permissions on the local drive.


None of it has worked, and any help would be appreciated.


Thank you,
