this is really weird.... the account that I created when I installed shows up as an admin in the users gui. however while in the terminal if I try to do su - then enter the password of the admin account I setup at the beginning it just says "sorry" as a response. So, I tried to do su - username and that'll of course work, however it doesn't truly have "root" privilages.

 

So, I searched here and just can't seem to find what i'm missing... being that i'm a total mac newbie, perhaps this is something that is just widely known but i'm at a lost.

 

any help out there?

 

edit: this is a 10.5.1 install of Kalyway.

 

edit second time, just noticed I should have placed this in the "post install" forum... sorry.

gotcha, thanks. after I started broadening my google search I had stumbled upon this site and was about to just come in here and answer my own question...

funny how soon as I post it , I find my own answer after searching for a while.

 

anyways, thanks for the quick response.

 

now if I could get this asus P5LD2-VM to work with vanilla, i'd be set... does the dreaded reboot over and over. without vanilla, runs great.
