Por que não consigo encontrar / private / var / db / netinfo?

Question

Estou tentando modificar meus usuários com dscl. Tenho visto muitas pessoas recomendam que eu faça backup do netinfo antes de fazer modificações. No entanto, quando eu tento voltar, eu entendo isso:

myserver:/ root# ls -al /private/var/db/

Estou usando o OSX Tiger:

myserver:/ root# uname -a
Darwin myserver.mydomain.com 9.1.1 Darwin Kernel Version 9.1.1: Fri Dec 14 19:00:14 PST 2007; root:xnu-1228.1.30~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

    

Answer 1

Dada a sua versão de xnu , você está realmente usando o Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).

Compare por exemplo o seguinte do repositório público de software de código aberto da Apple, ambos os últimos lançamentos menores de sua versão principal:

• OS X 10.4.11 (x86): link com o xnu 792.25. 20
• OS X 10.5.8: link com xnu 1228.15.4

Então você não tem Netinfo :

NetInfo is the system configuration database in NeXTSTEP and Mac OS X versions up through Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger". [...] Mac OS X v10.4 is the last version to support Netinfo. Beginning with Mac OS X v10.5, Netinfo has been completely phased out and replaced by a new local search node named dslocal, which files are located in /var/db/dslocal/ and are standard property list (XML-based) files.

E sua listagem de diretórios também inclui o dslocal apresentado com 10.5.
