    Hello all,

    I’m running a test Snow Leopard upgrade on one of our deployed 10.5.8 images with local MCX running. After I installed the upgrade, I noticed that my hidden user (uid = 499) disappeared completely, and all the local MCX settings got wiped out. Is this expected behavior, or is there a way to prevent those two (pretty major) changes from happening?

    Thanks,
    Jason

    I think this is a bug because I have seen this all over some mailing lists. Upgrading kills some management, but if you do a clean install and apply your management and hidden users they work. Something in the upgrade process kills that stuff.
