10.4: Hide users from the login window via prefs
Once the user is hidden, how do you select it for login via the main login screen (or FUS)? And the initial response in this thread was: To login as a hidden user with Fast User Switching, choose the "Login Window ..." option near the bottom of the FUS menu. That gives you a window in which you can type the user name and password of the hidden user. I assume that the same applies to the login window that appears at start up. To follow-up on the previous response: Under Mac OS X 10.3.9, at least, but not necessarily Tiger:
You will be presented with Name: and Password: fields, into which you can enter the name and password of any user, including any hidden users. Note: This didn't work on the one 10.4.2 system I tried it on. Does anyone have suggestions for how, in the login window, to switch from a list of one or more named users to a Name: and Password: login?

In Tiger, to get the Name: & Password: fields, press down-arrow and then shift-option-enter.

Don't make things more complicated than they are. |
