re: bypassing admin challenges?
Authored by: ssevenup on Nov 07, '02 12:57:41PM

I agree 100%. It seems to me this is not a direction this site wants to be going. As a fellow admin I can assure you that the last thing I want is a building full of folks who single user boot every time they feel they need to do my job for me. Although let me also mention that Norton Antivirus is a requirement here. Since the geniuses at Symantec designed it in a way that requires the Admin password, we have no choice but to make every user an Admin. Unless we want to visit every Mac, every time LiveUpdate wants to install an update.

A better tip would be how to prevent Interarchie from requiring the password by disabling the features that need it. We are getting ready to site license it again and those features could easily be withheld without troubling most users. -IMHO
