Make both Admin
Authored by: JohnnyMnemonic on Apr 29, '02 02:58:18PM
OS X does support three groups, actually, and it sounds like this may have worked for this situation: root, admin group, non-priv group. For ex, you could have made both yourself and your partner admins, changed the root password via "NetInfo" and then only allowed guests non-admin accounts.

Although OS X only allows for 3 groups through the GUI users panel, it does allow for those three, that I wonder if all this mucking about in the NetInfo was really necessary--usually only necessary if you want to create more than those three.
