!! IMPORTANT !!
I overlooked this omission in the original tip or I would have mentioned this before:
For the impatient: Remove the serves property from the server aliases you create. Yup, just delete it completely. No, not just the Value, the whole Property. (Click once on the serves line and choose Delete from the Edit menu. For the gurus-in-training: The serves Property for a machine subdirectory tells NetInfo to contact that machine on startup and at regular intervals thereafter and query it for information to be added to the local (your) NetInfo database. (Signified by the ./local value.) The hang is caused while the system waits for the requests to time out. (Your friends computer is unlikely to respond to such requests and if it does, your box will probably exhibit much more unusual symptoms than a startup hang.) As I said, the system automatically attempts to update this info at regular intervals. If you check your system log, you will find a task called lookupd reporting failed connections to the IPs you set up every few minutes. Do the above and all will be well. Guru Wisdom for the Patient: Dupe localhost; call it myduddy, delete serves, etc; then dupe mybuddy from then on. Saves a step. |
