Hid the admin account - Cannot add Under Remote Management
I created an admin account ( short name 'admin ') , gave it User ID 499 under Advanced Options.
Then I hid its home directory
sudo mv /Users/admin /var/.admin
sudo chown -R admin /var/.admin
Doing this with the goal of simply hiding the admin account from other local users on the machine
When I got into Sys Settings -> Sharing -> Remote Management -> to allow the admin account to control/observe via ARD admin I cannot add the admin account? Any other non-hidden account will appear in the list of choices. Is there a way to enable the hidden account to control the machine via ARD?
OS: 10.6.7
ARD admin : 3.4
Maybe there is a a UNIX command to turn this on ?
Thanks
