10.4: Hide all low UID users from the login window
Thanks for your help. I have struggled with this in the past. Does it still allow you to login via "Other" at the login window? Are there there other downfalls to using this method? It seems like the easiest one out there but I had not heard it today.
10.4: Hide all low UID users from the login window
I don't think that setting pwd to * will affect the "Other" feature.
I'm not sure what you mean about ssh, but if you wanted to ssh to your Mac as a user with * as the password, it won't work. However, you could login as you via ssh (or locally) and then
and type *your* pwd (assuming you are an admin) and you will become the otherusername.
There are other ways, like su otherusername but there are issues too numerous to discuss here. I think that what you actually wanted was simply a way to stop a user from appearing in the loginwindow, but not prevent logins via ssh. I can't think of anything offhand for this. |
