| User alias Suppose I am user "abc" on Leopard. How can I create an alias "xyz" that functions just like "abc"? Is this even possible?

| Semi-related question. My machine's name is "mymac". Can the system have an alias? If so, how do I create it?

| What you would probably want to do is set up two users, "abc" and "xyz" and have them share a home folder. Probably pretty easy with Mac OS X Server -- probably not so much with Mac OS X Client (but still doable). Your machine can only have one name for itself, but other machines can access that machine via any name they choose, simply by adding entries in their hosts file.
