- Create an AFP share that appears in the /Network folder. I used /Network/Library. The 10.3 user documentation describes how to create a share using Workgroup Manager (WGM). In that share, I have a folder called User Pictures where I put images of the users who log into the network.
- In WGM, enable the Inspector in the Preferences.
- In WGM, go to Accounts, click on the button that has a rectangle in it, and then click on New Computer List. Then add the MAC address of your computers. After that, go to the Preferences and select that computer list. Click on Login and then Login Options, and select Once or Always. Then clik on "List of Users able to use these computers."
- Navigate to the LDAP domain that hosts the users.
- Click on Accounts and then click on the Bulls Eye target (Inspector). Make sure the drop down menu is on Users.
- Click on a user's name; for example: testuser, in the pane on the left and then click on New Attribute... in the pane on the right.
- Select Picture from the Attribute drop down menu.
- Type in the path to the picture in the text field: in my case it would be: /Network/Library/Users Pictures/testuser.jpg
Note: Do not delete the info in the hex field; Workgroup Manager crashed when I did. That field apparently automatically updates when you change the information in the text field.
