[QUOTE][u]Quote by: OD+Master[/u][p]Hello –

just issue the following in Terminal on the clients:

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow Hide500Users -bool YES

this restores the behavior you want 🙂

I’m still missing something, because simply running this command did not hide my admin account. Please answer the following.

1. In Leopard do I still need to change my admin account’s UID to something below 500, before running the above command?
2. In Leopard now that NetInfo is gone, Is there a place in the GUI to change a UID? Where?
3. What is the command line to change an admin account’s UID?
4. Will I still need the “setfile” command to hide the hidden accounts user directory?
5. I noticed in some replies directions using the dscl command should I have been following those procedures prior to changing the plist?

TIA!
