Enabling or Disabling NetInfo Directory Services
You can use Directory Access to enable or disable access to shared NetInfo directory domains. NetInfo is a legacy directory service that is still used for the local directory domain on every Mac OS X computer, including Mac OS X Server. NetInfo can also be used for a shared directory domain of Mac OS X Server version 10.2 and earlier.
Disabling NetInfo in Directory Access does not disable access to the computer's local NetInfo domain. Only access to shared NetInfo domains can be disabled.
