Set Up Client Computers

Make sure that the directory services of Mac OS X computers are set up so they can access
user accounts at login. See “Supporting Client Computers” on page 210 for details about how
to configure Mac OS X computers as well as other client computers so that users can be
authenticated and access the services you want them to.

users and groups. See the sections starting with “Finding User and Group Accounts” on
page 176 for details.
