It sounds like you have modified what the passwords protect (or perhaps you are using the guest password(which is completely broken on my system and suspect all). Changing anything about the passwords, except the value of the password using the Admin script, is not advised unless you know a lot about how passwords work.
Again I don't know about Mac protection, but similar things happen on PCs if you have the readonly bit set on files. > -----Original Message----- > From: Paul Chubbuck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2001 11:43 AM > To: TechRocks Support > Subject: [support] Multi-user challenges > > > The suggestion below from Walt cleared up more than half the problem. > Now I only need to enter the password once.
