/Local isn't a directory tree, it's a namespace for DirectoryServices that accesses the BSD files (and some local XML data) for name service and config data. Does dscl actually give you an error when you attempt a command like: dscl localhost -read /Local/Default/Groups/wheel GroupMembership If so, what's the error? The diagnostics given here seem exactly what you need to get to the bottom of any problems you're having. > Bradley Giesbrecht wrote: >> John, I don't have this NOPASSWD issue.
