WOW!!!
as stated in other comments, this is pob not for most (all) people. I always have a complete backup of my system, so i would restore from a working backup if my comp wasn't bootable in the normal way anyway.
WOW!!!
Don't worry GaelicWizard they didn't see the interest to disable the single mode user. In a school where lots of student go on the same mac there is an interest. I don't want to see student hacking and changing password of my G4 so like that i'm quiet they can't be root. For my part i made an image of my G4 so even if my os is destroy i can restore my mac in 10 mn with all applications(3 partitions : 1 with the os another for the applications and another for users).
Tiger 10.4 support
Does anyone know if this would work in Tiger as there is no rc.boot file. Maybe using one of the other RC files?
AMAZING!!!
I think this tip is amazing!!! I am for sure gonna use it. I manage cafe computers and public ppcs, and not a month goes by without someone messing with the system thanks to single user mode. I can only lock the system down so much, and single user mode has been my archilles heel for some time now. I understand many people wouldnt want to use it in case they need it if their system gets fried, but i just reinstall my main image via firewire, taking up only 10 minutes of my time. This should save me alot of time from having to reimage systems cuz some noob decided to hose my system for sh*ts and giggles. Thank you so much for this hint!!! |
