Q: Network users unable to log in

I'm having trouble with network login and would be grateful if anyone could advise what to check next.

 

Attempting to log in from an iMac running Snow Leopard, the login dialog just jiggles every time I try to login.

 

The log show the following after each attempt

SecurityAgent[548]    Showing Login Window

kernel    Warning: audit space low (< 5% free)on audit log file-system

SecurityAgent[548]    Could not get the user record for 'test' from Directory Services

SecurityAgent[548]    User info context values set for test

SecurityAgent[548]    unknown-user (test) login attempt PASSED for auditing

kernel    Warning: audit space low (< 5% free)on audit log file-system

 

On the server (running Mavericks and Server 3.2.2) there are no messages in the log at the time of the login attempts.

 

DNS appears to be running without problems. On the server the checking

host 192.168.3.100

returns the correct hostname and

host [hostname]

returns the same ip address.

 

Using nslookup from the iMac gives the same results

 

The iMac seems to be correctly bound to the server. Login options shows the correct server name with a green lamp beside it and the user login list has an "Other" entry.
