10.5: Be aware of a multiple user screen lock issue
Authored by: rhowell on Dec 26, '07 09:15:08AM
As an admin user, user B could change user A's password at any time they wished, and then login to the account."


Ah, but with this "feature" user B can also change user A's KEYCHAIN password, which is a whole different ball game.

10.5: Be aware of a multiple user screen lock issue

Doesn't changing a password require knowledge of the original password? How could admin user B change user A's password without knowing user A's password?
