Yes, probably.

Gives me a nice record showing, among other fields,
   dsAttrTypeNative:afp_name: Public
   dsAttrTypeNative:ftp_name: Public
   dsAttrTypeNative:smb_name: Public
  RecordName: Public

Either gives no response at all, or error -14136 (eDSRecordNotFound),
depending on the machine.

So, I don't know what this tells me, and I don't know how to fix it. Any
thoughts? The dscl man page is a little opaque.
