A vulnerability with the screensaver password lock
Yeah, more testing after submitting the hint confirmed what you say: while any administrator can disable the screen saver, users with normal access levels cannot. I stand amended.
A vulnerability with the screensaver password lock
You should never give out admin rights to anybody, except the administrator. This is Multi-user environments 101 (and UNIX 101, and Linux 101, but seems to be missing from Mac OS X 101...)
A vulnerability with the screensaver password lock
Admin users on OSX are not quite the same as XP Administrator users which is analogous too the wheel group. I agree that you should only give out Admin access to trusted users but if you are trusting them with with sensitive data in a corporate environment already, giving them admin access on their own machine is no big deal. Admin on OSX is more like Power user group under XP except you can escalate to root through sudo. |
