      @Jbob The file in that path is currently empty. We’re running it on Yosemite at this time.

        Did the SmartInstaller pass all the steps? You can safely re-run the installer ontop of an existing installation and it’ll perform a “repair” of sorts. After doing so can you post the SmartInstaller.log file which the installer will point you to when completed?

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

          @Jbob Yup, sure did. I’ve attached the SmartInstaller.log file. FOG client file still shows as blank.

            From what I can tell launchd isn’t handling the plists properly for you. Can you provide the output of :
            sudo cat /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freeghost.daemon.plist

            Then run and provide the output of sudo ps ax | grep mono

            Finally, try running sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freeghost.daemon.plist and see what happens? Your /opt/fog-service/fog.log should begin filling up if it worked. You should then stop the service via sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freeghost.daemon.plist as the service wasn’t started “properly” and the user agents aren’t running.

            If that did not work for you (no content in fog.log), try using these commands to start/stop the client instead:

            sudo /opt/fog-service/control.sh start
            sudo /opt/fog-service/control.sh stop

            If no output is still in the fog.log file, perform an ls /opt/fog-service/ and cat /opt/fog-service/settings.json and paste both outputs here.

            I know it’s a lot of things to try, but i need to narrow down what is going wrong.

              @Jbob This is what I have so far after the first two commands.

                Ok, that indicates the daemon is setup properly and the user agents are working (somehow), can you try the other commands I posted (I edited my prior post).

                    @Louis-CSUSA was this after you ran the launchctl command?

                        @Louis-CSUSA Be sure to stop the service via the launchctl unload command I provided. The “Invalid security token” message can be fixed by a simple “Reset Encryption Settings” on the host via the fog web portal. What’s more concerning is that the service did not auto start itself on boot. Are you absolutely positive you restarted the machine after installing? Linux is the only OS capable (as of right now) of doing a complete service start without a reboot.

                          @Jbob The FOG log is starting to look normal now (like on the PC side). I was able to remove the “invalid security token” by hitting the Reset Encryption Settings as you suggested. Before that though, we did stop the service via launchtrl unload and rebooted again (for safe measure). I’ve attached our latest FOG log.

                          When we installed the service the first time, we did perform a reboot right after.

                            @Louis-CSUSA So after the newest reboot the client automatically started itself? Also, note to self: ignore the wtmp user in user tracker in the next release.

                              @Jbob Hey JBob, after the reboot it did not start on it’s own. We had to manually load it using the same command.

                              As an aside, HostNameChanger said that users are still logged in, and enforce is disabled. Is that a setting on the OSX side that we need to change?

                                The fact that you had to manually start it is a problem. Pinging @Tom-S for this conversation (I’ll be busy for the next several hours). As for the “Users are still logged in”, that is a checkbox in the web portal under a host/group

                                0_1463085531639_upload-409e4675-e329-49a7-b3fc-03e0b31cc327

                                Specifically the “Host changes every cycle”. If disabled, it will wait for users to log off first. @Tom-Elliott perhaps we could name it something like “Wait until users are logged off” and invert it, or have some (?) hover next ot it?

                                  @Jbob Since this is our first time doing this, we can reimage this unit again and start from scratch tomorrow. I want to make sure that user-error (on our side) isn’t giving you bad data. We will report back more tomorrow.

                                  Thank you very much @Jbob!

                                    @Louis-CSUSA not a problem. I’ll have limited availability tomorrow as well. I’ll try and replicate the issue on the single Mac I have to test with (one of the difficulties of developing an OS X client ).

                                        Well this is indeed a bit odd. If running the launchctl commands start and stop the service, the service should start on its own based on your plist. Essentially this is what happens when the mac boots and hands off the thread to launchd. So hmmmmm. Permissions??? Perhaps!!

                                        Please run:

                                        ls -la /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freeghost.daemon.plist
                                        

                                        and

                                        ls -la /opt/fog-service
                                        

                                        This will verify permissions.

                                        Also, in security under System Preferences, try allowing apps from anywhere. This is obviously not a fix but certainly could help resolve a possible issue.

                                        Please post your results

                                        Thanks,
