More 10.5.6

Well the good news is that it seems as though my two Macs at my home have stabilized from the upgrade and I haven't had any lingering problems.

My Mac Pro at work still seems to be an issue though. I came in the other day and was continuing to have problems with the SMB share mounting. Someone on the Apple support forums said that the SMB stuff really wasn't the problem, but merely a symptom and that the real problem had to do with Kerberos authentication. He said that I could look in my log files to confirm. I did as was suggested and didn't see any kerberos messages. However, I did see a number of messages dealing starting out with DFX:. OK... not sure what that is. Still I continued to do research and someone said something about reinstalling any third-party apps that interacted with Finder. I only have one: Default Folder X (ah ha... DFX). So I removed it and reinstalled and all seemed to be well with the world.

Well that lasted for a week or so actually. Then yesterday I came in to work and was unable to mount any SMB shares... again. I stopped DFX... still no go. I finally unbound my Mac from AD and then rebound it and eventually SMB shares started working again. Now I've got DFX running again and all is good. This is frustrating because I don't have any direction to go in order to really solve the underlying issue. I'd like to think that it's fully fixed, but I don't have any great sense that it really is.
