I am having a problem with a server and a set of clients i set up for a teacher. I set up an Open Directory for the teacher and students to have network accounts. These account homefolders are stored on the same machine (MacPro 2.66 2GB of RAM) that is running the Open Directory. I have 2 hdds, one for the OS and one for all the User flies. For the students it works perfectly. They log into the clients and save their work in the homefolders clean and simple.
My problem is with the teachers. They log into the client with their network account and then connect to the server again to look at the assignments that are stored in the students homefolder. This causes the DirectoryService process to start eating memory like crazy. It also doesnt stop. The teacher station got up to about 1.5 gigs of real memory. Also the browsing the network share slows to a crawl.
I wonder why does this happen? If logged into the client on a local account, this problem does not happen. Is there some sort of setting i can tweak to do fix this? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also, maybe if there is a good forum or website strictly for Mac Network Administrators that someone could point me to, that would be great. Thanks a ton
