MacVoices #9109: Kirk McElhearn Explains Why You Need to Take Control of Users and Accounts in Snow Leopard

Oct 22, 2009 | Author, Software, Take Control, Tech Topics

Kirk McElhearnKirk McElhearn recently completed his latest Take Control book, Take Control of Users and Accounts in Snow Leopard. If you think you know all you need to know on the subject, you need to hear Kirk explain some of the obvious, and not-so-obvious, uses for accounts, why logging in to an Administrator account is not a good idea for most users, and more. When used properly, users and accounts can be leveraged for such tasks as troubleshooting and parental control. Kirk explains these, talks about why the sun (almost) never sets on the TidBITS empire, and gives us a look at living as a technology author in the French Alps.
