I recently tried porting over a copy of Neverwinter Nights (Windows version) to my Mac with the Linux hacks that are available. The port failed/I gave up but the true question I’m asking is that I enabled root to make a Can I just use the install CD to disable root again? Or is it more difficult then that? My understanding now is to use sudo for root access with an admin account. Thanks for any help.

Fine Arts=painting/drawing/photography/printmaking – general multimedia studies/film/sound etc. Went to Oakville, Ontario/Sheridan College for a post-diploma degree in IT. Which sucked. I knew more about Bind/DNS then the teacher teaching Linux/Unix. Um. I don’t think he even knew what BIND was…lol.

Use NetInfo Manager and hunt down the menu item for disabling root within there.
Thanks!
I’m curious as to why you tried doing that instead of just playing the Mac version of NWN
How to disable the root user
Open NetInfo Manager. It’s in the Utilities folder.
Click the lock.
Enter the name and password for an administrator account, then click OK.
For Mac OS X 10.2 and later, choose Disable Root User from the Security menu.
For Mac OS X 10.0 and 10.1, choose Security from the Domain menu, then Disable Root User from the submenu.
