Suppress NeoOffice automatic update checking
Authored by: morbium on May 29, '07 02:23:06PM

I just did it and it worked fine
You need to activate a root psw in the netinfo-manager
if you have'nt done that yet before you open the terminal

The full command in the terminal looks like this:

sudo touch /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/.noshowdonationpage

Press enter

type your root psw

Press enter again

Done!

It's not necessary to activate root (and is dangerous to do so); you just need an administrative user that's listed in the sudoers file (the first user created on every Mac by default meets these criteria).

On another note, please do read the warnings on the page cited by doctype above before performing this modification.

sudo

You don't need the root password, you need the password of the user executing sudo (your account password in most cases) & your account must have the right to manage your computer (account settings).

Seems to be in your case that your user password and root password are the same (which isn't the brightest idea) :-)
