Yes, you are convincing me that I should indeed use authentication though. I'm going to take a page from Apple's book and stay tight-lipped about what I'm doing. I'm betting that 10.1 is going to make what I'm doing obsolete, and I want to make sure I have some kind of chance.

Thanks for all the help.

On osx client maybe but not on osx server. Many server apps and helpers will
need authentication.

Not to mention apps that want to write to directories the user doesn't have access to without requiring them to enable root, and log in as root via the GUI. For configuration file editing, and so on and so forth...
