A potential multiple users login bug
Authored by: network23 on Aug 21, '03 11:11:45AM

Yeah, I get that too.

I've also seen another problem that I'm pretty sure is a bug.

Two of my kids are pretty young, so I wanted to simplify the system for them by adjusting the Capabilities -- mostly by turning off most of what the user can do (Remove Dock items, change password, open all system prefs) and also specify what apps could be run.

On my system, most of my apps are on a separate partition, including many of the games I wanted to give my kids access to. After setting up the system and tesing my kids logins, most of the "external" games did not show up in Finder and those that did lost their icons, just showing the generic application icon. I used my AppleCare and after many phone sessions, they couldn't fix the problem other than to tell me to install all the apps I wanted the users to access on the OS X partition.

I'd ask someone to test it out on Panther, but I've asked a "2 minutes to test this out" question multiple times on several boards and it took days to get an an answer. I held no hope of getting someone to test out the above situation. I'll just have to find out for myself.
