[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 55315, member: 5184"] Not just theoretically... As root in OS X, you can do everything, just like in Linux/UNIX. This includes creating a new user with admin rights, celeting an existing user, even without having his/her password AND messing up the system, which I managed to do while playing around too much... :D So be careful with what you do, but as long as you're just creating/erasing users, the system won't take any harm... I played around with system files, resulting in Kernel Panics and happy reinstallation parties :D [/QUOTE]
