- UserManager.app does not work but nu does work.
-
- I can launch UserManager as root, but when I try to modify or create
- accounts, the app dies. If I try to launch UserManager when logged in
- as a non-priveledged user, the app dies before even displaying the panel
- that asks for the root password.
-
- Since I don't know what is wrong, I am thinking about replacing the
- /etc/netinfo/local.nidb with the version in /usr/template... (as
- is suggested in the manual and in NeXTanswers). Perhaps the local.nidb
- is not the source of the problem... (any ideas??)
-
- There are only a few accounts on my machine - what will replacing
- the local.nidb folder do to these accounts? To my printer and FAX/modem
- setup? What do the files in local.nidb do anyway?
-
- BTW NetInfoManager works but HostManager does not (dies right after
- launching).
-
- Thanks in advance,
