Hi, I just switched to using my own account account instead of using the admin one. How do I make my computer start up without it automatcially loggin into admin? and instead show the login screen?

This sounds like a convoluted problem, but hopefully an interesting one. I'm trying to figure out how to change users on a remote server via VNC. The VNC connection and the tunnel are working ok - except for this tiny problem of being unable to change users on the remote server. Let's call...

I'm hoping this is a relatively straightforward question for someone out there. My mother has a user called "sshd priv...eperation" appearing at the login screen on her computer. Obviously this an account related to the secure shell daemon but I have no idea no why it's appearing at login...

I'm running 10.2.8 and have been experiencing a very frustrating problem. When I boot, the login window only lists the network user, which appears as "Other..." with a little network icon beside it.

Anyone notice a slight delay and a message about logging onto some sort of Bigfoot while check and sending mail using Entourage?

I use a Powerbook G4 1.3 GHZ and run OS X Tiger 10.4 and have been able to login to iChat for years since it has been up and running. Today for some unknown reason I can't login not matter what I do. I'm a programmer and not new at this. Yet, I have tried it all and still cannot login to iChat...

I run multiple user accounts on my Tiger, these help me organize my documents and settings depending on different things I do. I recently re-installed the system, keeping old accounts and settings, but ever since every time I have iTunes playing on one of the accounts and log into a different...

I've got 2 G4 PowerBooks - 1 running Jaguar, the other Tiger. I'm going out of town for an unknown period of time. Ideally, I'd like to be able to access the Jaguar PB remotely as I'll have TigerPB with me. Haven't tried doing that ...can someone direct me to the information I need, Many...

I am running Tomcat web server, and it requires root privilege to setup conectors on low ports. I can do it interactively via sudo, but I'd like it to setup automatically on startup. I tried putting the Tomcat startup script file in .bash_login in an admin user home directory, but then it...

Sorry, but this is a question with a very simple answer - but I'm lost!!! I've set up 10.3.9 sevrver on a G4 desktop and everything works ok - add users, log them in, open apps etc. Unfortunately my clients lab doesn't appear to recognise the network for login purposes. I can access the...

On my school OSX server we have 3 dozen emacs running tiger and a 10.3.9 sever. Whenever one of the emacs starts up it goes to the login screen with the list of all our students/teachers. However, sometimes after waking up from sleep at the login screen by hitting spacebar (or anykey) an emac...

no doubt this is a simple memory thing, but... I have one machine that just does the shimmy when trying to login to the network server... I can login as admin but not as any other user... it used to work!... have repaired permissions on workstation... no change... is there a pref file I can...

Although i ask them not to, students check the startup box next to their name when they login via appleshare to the school's server. Then they graduate, and a lengthening list of login boxes (see attached image)with their usernames piles up on startup and slows the startup process considerably...

I am trying to login to my work computer and select my username from the list on startup. It seems to be going fine as I ca see my desktop background appear and icons too. A suitcase box appears for a split second asking me to register and then my computer returns to the login screen again. have...
