Hi,

I am trying to find a way to access the netinfo DB from cocoa. Specifically the sharing (AFP, SMB, etc).
Pointers or ideas are much appreciated.


Hello,

Quick question: Are you using Leopard or Tiger machines? On Tiger, you can run the commands "niultil" or "nicl" to query the NetInfo database from your application. Note that in Leopard, Netinfo has been completely deprecated in favor of a local LDAP database. So, if you are using Leopard, run the command "dscl" from your application. In either case, you'll have to parse the command results in your app.

On Tiger, the path you want to query is...

/config/SharePoints/

On Leopard, the path you want to query is...

 /Local/Default/SharePoints

hope that helps,

Jaime Magiera
