Hi,

After downloading the profile for the University of Oslo from cat.eduroam.org I noticed that it contains gibberish:

plutil -lint ~/Downloads/eduroam-OS_X-UiO.mobileconfig 
/Users/thomas/Downloads/eduroam-OS_X-UiO.mobileconfig: Unexpected character 0 at line 1

It still works for the GUI end-user, but from the commandline you will need to edit the file and remove the gibberish in the beginning of the profile if you want to play with it.
I assume the problem is easily fixed as it probarly sneaked into the profile when handled by an editor or Windows.

Best regards,

Thomas Hansen
Senior engineer, Sysadmin at the Department of Informatics, University of Oslo
