Hi everyone, I have three separate accounts on my Mac; one is in French and is a standard account, one is the Adminand the other is my everyday standard account. Due to a bug in Finder, where if you have a FAT32 external drive, you are unable to copy directories to the drive from your Mac because of some corruption in one of the system files which appear on the Windows side if you open the drive up in "My Computer" etc. This is not an issue with copying or moving files etc so to speak, but an issue with Finder itself.
Anyway... I have tried to copy some folders using Terminal, and because they are Home folders and because I am doing it from a standard account I need to use Sudo. My standard accounts are not members of the sudoers file, which is fine, but even if i enter my Admin password (whilst using Terminal from my standard account), I am unable to do what i want. Is this standard UNIX behaviour? I can't remember. If I need to add my Admin account to the Sudoers file, how do I do this please? I assume I could copy these folders if I logged into the Admin account, but i don't really want to do this and i absolutely don't want to enable the Root User. Thank you for any help and apologies for the long E-Mail. TC James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
