That did it. Here’s what I got:

[b]OurMacPro2:~ root$ dseditgroup -o edit -a design -t group -n /Local/Default admin
Upgraded admin to new group format to support GUID membership.
OurMacPro2:~ root$
[/b]
Thanks for al your help. Time for a Leopard footnote on the original article perhaps?

As root, I ran the command [b]dseditgroup -o edit -a design -t group -n /NetInfo/DefaultLocalNode admin[/b] but when I hit return there was no response in the terminal, instead giving me a new command line. I logged out of Root and logged in as network user jimmy who is a member of OD group [b]design[/b], and tried to unlock a system preference padlock. Entering that user’s credentials would not unlock the padlock. I opened Terminal and ran [b]dseditgroup -o checkmember admin[/b] and [b]dseditgroup -o checkmember -n . admin[/b] and both returned [b]jimmy is NOT a member of admin[/b].

Any help would be appreciated.

Since the demise of netinfo, will the same dseditgroup command work in Leopard?

Is the Xserve connected directly to the ISP, or going through a router first?
