thing??? I can't create a root user anymore and i am not able to login as root. i don't have my original OSX startup cd here and when i repair priviliges with my local user with admin priviliges i get on each problem the error can't repair priviliges cause you don't have the privilige to do that. :-(

i could do it like sudo repairPriviliges but for that i need the command. anybody have a hint???


thanks beta

Until someone posts with the correct command line to do it, have you tried running Disk Utility using Pseudo?

thanks for the hint but i still get the error in the disk utility "Operation not Permitted".

dammmm.

is there a way to enable root via the terminal? I mean the same way like in the netinfo manager not just a user named root.

i just wanna repair my machine. damm

that is an example of the disk utility

% sudo diskutil repairPermissions /

[chabig]

1) Boot to single user mode
2) at the prompt, type "mount -uw /"
3) when that's done type "systemStarter"
4) when that's done type "diskutil repairPermissions /"

That's should do it.

In single-user mode, you should fsck before doing mount -uw / .
