from bumby:

Since the 10.5.1 update was released, lots of people are complaining

that the DirectoryService process has 100%(less or even more

than that) CPU usage after some kind of event.

The easy way to fix this is to copy /usr/sbin/DirectoryService from 10.5.0

and repair the permissions after this operation is completed.

Let’s say you have the original 10.5.0 DirectoryService executable,

you need just a few commands to apply the fix:

sudo -s

cp /Users/youruser/DirectoryService /usr/sbin/DirectoryService

diskutil repairPermissions /

NOTES:

1 replace /Users/youruser/DirectoryService with the path to the 10.5.0

DirectoryService

2 if you don’t know where to get that file from, you can find it on the LEO install DVD

in the usr/sbin directory

What about 10.5.8? Would the 10.5.0 executable still work or is it too old and would introduce new problems? Thanks.
