Hello list.
I was curious about disabling user accounts. On every other *nix
system I administer, I use pw to set the lock attribute, or on
systems without pw, I add a * to the user password field. Obviously,
vipw doesn't really apply to Mac OS X, as user accounts aren't kept
in the /etc/master.passwd file.
For the record, I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.1. (Just upgraded from
10.3.9 last night).
Thanks!
