An odd one, I haven't run into before. A 2008 27" iMac was updated to 10.9.5 yesterday, and when it came back up, no user could log in.
It accepts the username and password, the little spinny gear starts right up, and that's as far as it gets, never goes off the login screen. Verbose boot shows no unusual notices. Booted into recovery volume, Disk utility says the drive is OK, I even repaired permissions, nothing unusual there. Didn't fix it. Was able to get to the syslog via terminal in recovery, nothing unusual at all, in fact, nothing after the login window appears. Permissions look ok for the users directories. I haven't run Diskwarrior yet, but I'm unsure that would help, because Disk Utility thinks the volume has no errors. I'm worried that the Open Directory database may be borked. Does anyone know if that can be managed from the recovery volume, or when connected to another Mac in FW target mode? -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
