Hiding The Administrator Account in OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
I would like to know how to hide my initial account (which is an administrator account) in the new Leopard 10.5 operating system.
In the old OS 10.4 this could be done very easily with the help of NetInfo Manager. You could change the UID to anything below 500 and secure your account, however in the new 10.5 OS this is no longer possible. NetInfo manager is no longer. Is there a script that can be entered via terminal that takes care of this? In terminal you can check the user database with the following: dscl . list /Users UniqueID In raw UNIX you can check with the following: cat /etc/passwd Any pro help would be appreciated.
