deleted WHEEL group =(

[balanced123]

Was going along my business doing some changes to netinfo, when i accidentally deleted the WHEEL group...and updated the database;
I'm using mac os x, 10.4.7;
The information I need is in the
applications->utilities->netinfo manager-> groups-> wheel
Basicly all the info therein

 

[g/re/p]

boot to single user mode and:

.................................................................
mount -uw /
nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb

-create /groups/wheel
-create /groups/wheel passwd *
-create /groups/wheel gid 0
-create /groups/wheel users yourusername
quit

.................................................................
be sure to replace yourusername with your admin user name



If this does not work, do a complete backup of all your data and then
do an archive and install or a full install (erase and install)

If you are going to be tweaking on the OS, especially things like the netinfo database, you really need to set up a comprehensive backup solution and do
a complete backup of your boot volume at least once a week.
