I have a problem....
1 - I enabled the root user.
2 - I logged in as root, and got info on the hard disk icon. - then went to access and privileges and set to everyone / read and write, and apply to all enclosed folders.
3- Then logged back in as normal user, and found I had no priviledges at all, - couldnt even start classic.
4 - Now I cant log in as root anymore, because I disabled the root user- as the root user, and it wont let me change anything in netinfoManager.
I ran the 'Repair Privileges' application, thens elected the disk to fix, and it went through all of the files and appeared to have worked - it said it was sucessful.
Then I went to get info on some of the files on the HD, but it the access priveleges had not changed?
I also got the same 192 error when I tried to mount a .dmg file.
I also tried to log in as root again, but it still wouldn't let me in.
When I go into NetinfoManager, it lets me authenticate, but when I go to enable root user is says I must re-authenticate to make additional changes.
I guess that it doesn't re-enable the root, cause after that if I try to log in it doesn't recognise my password.
HELP !
I should not have changed all that stuff, I didn't even know what I was doing. OS X is a whole different ball game to OS 9.
Where can I go from here?
Is the only option left a re-install? - c'mon hit me with the bad news.
I fear the worst. - if this is the only option left, do you know where I can find a good article to guide me through the process
Thanks again for your time and thoughts on this matter.
