Probs in 10.4.3 ? - Kristofer_Widholm_652

Currently, the preference check routine checks even .xml files in the /private/var/db/SystemConfiguration directory. This is probably causing the problems.

Take a look in the /private/var/db directory and see if you see a directory named SystemConfiguration (corrup). If you see one, look inside and see which files have been moved there.

I will be releasing a version that fixes this soon. In the meantime, a workaround (if you're the technical kind), would be to open up the applejack.sh script located at /private/var/root/Library/Scripts/applejack.sh and change this line:
prefCheck '/private/var/db/SystemConfiguration' xml

to this:
prefCheck '/private/var/db/SystemConfiguration'

Are you sure about the line in applejack.sh having "xml" at the end? Here is what is in mine:

$ sudo grep -i prefcheck /private/var/root/Library/Scripts/applejack.sh

prefCheck '/private/etc/mach_init.d'
prefCheck '/private/var/db/SystemConfiguration'
prefCheck '/Library/Preferences'
prefCheck "$ud/Library/Preferences"
function prefCheck() {
function prefCheckEngel() {
