Hi all I found this by pure accident. If you ever want to log into Terminal as root, all you have to do is this: 1. Open up /Applications/Utilities/terminal.app 2. At the log-in prompt, type the following, (without the quotes): "sudo bash”
There you go, you’re off and running as “root”. But be careful what you do there. ;-) Gordon <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at the list's public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
