autobind(8)               BSD System Manager's Manual              autobind(8)

NAME
     autobind

SYNOPSIS
     autobind

DESCRIPTION
     The autobind tool is used to automatically set the DHCP directory binding options if they have not yet
     been explicitly set. This is run from a temporary startup item when upgrading from an earlier version
     of Mac OS X which did not explicitly set the DHCP binding setting during the Setup Assistant.

     The policy used by autobind is to explictly disable DHCP directory binding if no directory servers are
     available from DHCP at the time it is run. If one or more servers is available then the DHCP binding is
     explicitly enabled.

     autobind must be run as root to make changes to the directory binding settings.
