37'' monitor + Mac G5 = heaven
We just got this G5 and hooked it up to the 37'' monitor. it is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen. I am still learning the differences between the linux systems that i have been used to and the mac os x systems that i have been using a lot lately. I am by no means a linux wizard, but i can get around fairly well.
Today's simple Problem:
How do you add administrative rights to a user in OS x?
Todays's simple Solution:
(1) Open a finder window and navigate to utilities. There is a program called NetInfo Manager...open it.
(2) There is a list of stuff...click groups and find the admin group in the list that is displayed.
(3) When you click the admin group, you will see a description at the bottom. Expand the users arrow and then in the menubar click Directory->New Value.
(4) Enter the name of the user that you want to be an admin.
(5) Do the same thing you did in 1-4 for groups: appserveradm and appserverusr.
After all that I had to restart, but there might be a way to refresh everything without...not sure
The user you added should have access to all the stuff the original admin does.
You can check that the group stuff worked by opening a terminal window and typing groups followed by the username added above.
PS. There is also a simpler way, which is to click the checkbox that gives admin rights to the user when you initially create them. Who pays attention to that stuff though?
