[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1152758, member: 71075"] I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the instructions you received for Ubuntu enabled the root user since it is disabled by default. The same thing is done in OS X. If you want to enable the root user, open up /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory Utility.app > click the lock > authenticate > Edit > Enable Root User. I'm not sure if this will meet your needs though. As a word of warning, I'd suggest you use the root account with extreme caution. I know others have said the same thing so I may sounds unnecessarily repetitive but it's worth repeating. [/QUOTE]
