[QUOTE="babyface2059, post: 1152752, member: 180737"] Hey everyone, To avoid riling up anyone further, I feel like I should give more info. This isn't a trust issue --- I'm sitting right next to the person that is the second admin. We both know I will be the super dooper admin. Thanks harryb2448 for the suggestion --- that's the way we typically do things (1 admin, lots of guests) --- but having 2 admins on the same comp is the way it's going to be. And sorry DarkestRitual, I don't know how to set admin groups via the command line. Could you give me a link to more info about that? Because I think that's what I'm after. I usually use Ubuntu and when I posted a question about super admin groups there (this was ages ago) they gave a response that involved using GUI stuff (and not shell stuff) --- it was pretty easy to follow, but that's why I don't know the unix commands for doing the same thing on a mac. On a side note, I really do appreciate the help. There's nothing suspicious or underhanded going on here, so while I do appreciate the info about security risks and whatnot, it would be nice to have some help as to the actual task I want to accomplish. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
