| 10.6 update
Hello,
I've been trying to fix the privileges on my user for over a week now and just gave up and decided to ask for help. Ive read all posts I could find on the web but none of them worked, so I'm explaining below the problem I have and would appreciate any help.
My Mac was working OK with 10.5.8 when I installed the 10.6 update. For some weird reason, my user just lost all root privileges, in spite of showing that my user does have the privileges. When using the dscl command, but it shows that my user is included in the admin group. When looking at the user management panel in Settings, it shows the " let this user administer this machine" checkbox marked, but it is gray and dont let even the root user change it.
But, when I try to do anything that requires privileges, such as changing any configuration that requires authentication, or updating any software or even 10.6.1, it just dont let me. It is like I didnt have the privileges to administer the box.
Has anyone seen this kind of problem? Any idea of how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
