Re: Change your short username
I did this recently and it works just as desribed. I just logged in as root and then changed my user folder's name. Then I changed all references in NetInfo. The only gotcha I found is that for some reason, it denoted my renamed account to a non-admin status. So, I had to log back in as root and designate myself as an admin again.
Re: Change your short username
Oh boy. So this worked for me too, sort of. I also had success changing my short name this way, and it did remove my Admin status. However, not only do I no longer have a user with Admin status, but my original Admin user can no longer do anything at all, like use System Preferences, or Internet Explorer. I have tried logging in as the root user into both the Terminal and Netinfo, but I am somehow denied access. I also tried logging in in single user mode and deleting the Netinfo database, forcing it to recreate itself, but I was unsuccessful there too.
Root user can't run NetInfo?
So you logged in at the main screen as 'root' and you can't run NetInfo? What sort of errors are you getting when you try this? |
