Re: De-personalizing 10.5



Since there is no NetInfo Manager anymore I use WorkGroup Manager from 10.5
server tools as a gui editor for the local LDAP DB. Once you launch it go to
the Server menu and select View Directories.

Another thing to try is right click on a user account in the Accounts pref
pane. This lets you edit many more aspects of the user account.
