MacOSX has kerberos built in, the GUI manager is in /System/Library/CoreServices/. The only hack to do is to create (touch is sufficient) a krb5.conf. And last, *what* did you install and *where* it came from? Did you *just* install something or did you do something else? What did you do *exactly*? > There were instantly os x problems, and a log in screen came up after > restart. there were no users listed and all password changes in the os > x install disk didn't work. What had happened? Could you log in? The description above doesn't make much sense to me. > I called Applecare and they said Kerberos must have overwritten my system. It's not their business if you install something on the system that deeply changes your OS.

Do you mean this? You restarted the non-working system holding down ``T'' (was it? or ``F''? Anyway, the ``firewire drive'' mode). Then you saw the firewire logo floating on the screen and you could safely plug in the mac with a fw cable on another one. Nothing was shown on the desktop. > I'm at a complete loss as to what to do now, but desperately need the > information off of my harddrive.

Did you try the Disk Utility on a working mac while the other is connected in firewire mode? Did you try to look at the logs on the working drive (in /Applications/Utilities)? Anyway, try those things. -- Sensei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. [J.
