Security Update 2006-003 Special Report: Active Directory issues
MacFixit reader Tony Pires reports an issue where Security Update 2006-003 causes problems with Active Directory services.

'My G5 was on 10.4.6 and bound to Active Directory. Upon logging in after the Security Update I was given a message stating my mobile home directory could not be made. I was greeted with a plain, newly created home folder. Logging into root and fixing permissions, did not fix it. Restarting didn't as well. That?s when I went into the Accounts preference pane and noticed there were 2 accounts for my user name, one that said Managed and the other that said Managed, Mobile. I deleted the one that said just 'Managed' and upon logging in was greeted with my familiar desktop and settings. Some dock links were broken but easily fixed."
