[QUOTE="BaLLZaCH, post: 238926"] cazabam, Very true, very true. I just got mad at OSX. And I do understand all the points being made. But my point is, I am the type of person that LIKES to be able to fix things. I don't like disposable products. Meaning, if it stops working, I don't just buy a new one LOL, Not me. I like to get under the hood, fix the bolt that came out, and even if I have to RIG it with a tapped out metric bolt in a SAE hole, I can still make it work. The problem I have with MAC OSX is that I can not do what "I" want to do. Yes yes, I understand the 'security' issues, but what apple fails to understand is the need for deversity, these OS's at some point need to be tweaked. AND somebody WILL. My belief is that if Windows didn't exist, SOMETHING ELSE LIKE WINDOWS would, But I also beleive the PC as we know it is going away, like you said moving more towards OSX in an effort to merge on-demand based programming and subscription services. Goodbye admin users. I do also understand the points about 'NIX systems, and I understand that osx is built off a Unux type structure, I understand the security reasons and the reason for authenticating. But brand new users don't understand, and simply believe that a Mac is just automatically better than a PC, because it is "easier" to them. Ohh yeah, and just a note about a user using your 'admin' account 3 hours later, I don't have that problem, because I have a blank screen saver set that requires authentication (LOL) password to get back. Not rocket science. LOL, anyways, I knew the post was going to fly South after that post, so Ill try to get it back on track and let the post die,,,, You all have answered my questions about the authentication stuff.... So we have determined: 1: You cannot have more than one ROOT account, and 2: You must authenticate, no if ands or buts. Perfect, exactly what I wanted to know. Cmon, there has to be a way around thought, right ??? Thanks, I appriciate the posts !!! [RESOLVED] . [/QUOTE]
