10.5: Be aware of a multiple user screen lock issue
Authored by: Billieh on Dec 26, '07 07:02:42PM
This applies to almost every modern OS with User and Admin functions. An Admin, by default, has the ability to log in over any 'user' account because they are the admin. Admin rights dictate that they should have authority over user accounts. Some differences come in when dealing with multiple level users (super user, user, guest.. etc), but the concept is almost always the same. An Administrator will always have the highest level of power over the computer, regardless of the other users below it. Windows (2000, XPPro, Server), Linux, Novell - they all function this way.
