Hey, Macaholics - -- ----- - - My daughter's school has draconian policies for administering their MacBooks. In short: they can't. I won't go off on a rant, as in her old school they had rights, and as far as I know there were not problems. However, the policy means that kids can't even run disk utilities. As I watched her computer slowly die as she headed toward midterms, I muttered many unpleasantries under my breath.
The question is this: is there a way (that would be reasonably easy for school IT folks) to allow selective administrative functions to users? While Googlizing this question, I noticed some linux command line hacks that would let one assume administrative rights. I am looking at this a bit. Comments?
