Hard drive partitions has _nothing_ to do with user and group permissions, and _nothing_ with creating a user. Within Mac OS, the user "guest" may have unchangeable limitations, but any other user should be able to be added to any group and given any privileges. A hard drive partitions would change none of that. Maybe both were done at the same time - but there should be no tie between the two activities. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
