10.5: Fix a hang on admin password entry
Authored by: marook on Jan 01, '09 05:34:13PM

Hmm, hoped it would help here, but no go.
I stil see a 20-30 sec. delay on my account. Guess it still tries to refress OD info for the account.. :-(
Strange that it only have this delay when the PW is correct! On error, it tells you Right away!

10.5: Fix a hang on admin password entry
Authored by: amavida on Jan 01, '09 06:56:43PM

In my humble expereince here is some borkage in the complicated acl's / permission system of 10.5.x

Im running 10.5.6 & i still see weird behavior.
I have made support calls with Apple care & there is no solution.
File bug reports & pray it fixed some day.

10.5: Fix a hang on admin password entry
Authored by: lopezzi on Jan 02, '09 07:36:23AM

I had the same issue and what worked for me was to create another admin user with the account name something other than "administrator". Our macs are tied to AD and there is an AD account called "administrator". Once I logged in, it would take forever to load. I think it was trying to authenticate against AD even though it was a local account or something like that. Anyway, using an account named something other than administrator fixed it for me.
