[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 🙂

thank you…. to which deity do you prefer your praise and eternal thanks be sent?

but in all seriousness…. how did you figure that one out?

what was I missing, where was I not looking?

I will be posting your comments in the other two threads, but with full recognition that the answer is yours not mine.

no luck. It does hide the account, it also makes it not possible to log into the account except from the command line….
need a better answer and a full explanation…. anyone?

Easy way to create a postgres user is use system prefs and after that hide the user with command:

[code]sudo dscl . -change /Users/pgsql UserShell ”/bin/bash” ”/usr/bin/false”[/code][/quote]

I am happy with the ease of the answer…. I just don’t fully understand it…. anyone care to explain it a bit more than ‘do this’?

check your login to make certain it is using the same encryption as the AD server. I had a problem in which i should have been able to log into my smb share but couldn’t and it turned out to be that i was using two dif password encryption schemes, on on my mac and one on my pc.
just a shot in the dark.
