[Casper] Enable Leopard Guest Account ?

[Roger Corbin]

Thanks for the tip on this John but I seem to have hit another strange  
roadblock.

Is it just me or is there no way to browse the network for computers  
and add them as computer accounts in 10.5 server's Workgroup Manager ?  
There used to be a browse function in 10.4.x Workgroup Manager where  
you could browse the network for machines and then drag them in. I  
have been looking all over for this function in 10.5 WGM. After I  
couldn't find it I started reading through the manual to see what it  
says. All it mentions is adding them by MAC address. Is this feature  
really gone ? Are they planning to add it back ? As a plan B is there  
some way to import a list of MAC addresses ? I can't say I really want  
to enter in hundreds of MAC addresses in by hand.
