- That may be a bit difficult. In the domain where the users are to be
- places is a root user entry: <some domain>:/users/root. To add a entry
- to the domain one of two conditions must be satisfied: You must be logged
- into the machine that is the domain master as root; or, you must know the
- domain's root password -- aka NetInfo network password -- when a change is
- made.
