Removal of hostconfig file will prevent OS X booting
Just to clarify...
Hint's fine...
I think the hint and related comments make a good archive and discussion, and I see no need to replace what you sent in. I did, however, add some emphasized text around the "third party" bit in the original hint...it seemed clear to me when I read it, but apparently it's not as clear as I thought it was!
Removal of hostconfig file will prevent OS X booting
No, it was identifiably the 3rd party software, not samba, which hosed the /etc/hostconfig file. The samba software itself never reads the contents of /etc/hostconfig. Instead the value of SMBSERVER is parsed from /etc/hostconfig at boot by the startup script /System/Library/StartupItems/Samba/Samba. The point is that one shouldn't blame samba for this--let the developer of the 3rd party implementation know about it--but it's simply wrong to start blaming widely used, stable product (SAMBA) when it isn't the fault. |
