Installing gdm on mac os x tiger

I was installing gdm on the terminal application and my ISP disconnected. When I reconnected and tried to continue the installation, I got the following message:

Code:
Waiting for lock on /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/_opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports_x11_XFree86/work/.darwinports.XFree86.state

And it just hangs there. What can I do to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Mac OS X Tiger Password Storage

Are Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger passwords only stored in /var/db/shadow/hash? Or is it also used in NetInfo? The reason I am asking is because I wonder if I edit the file in /var/db/shadow/hash and replace the hash inside with my own, will it change the password? Thanks. (0 Replies)
