Hi
I work in a education centre where we run twenty power PC based iMacs. At the moment they are not networked, and are locked down in a specific way to control what students can and can't do on them. My questions is probably pretty straight forward but I can't figure it:
How do I transfer an account that I have set up on one machine with all the specific privaliges I want, onto the other 19 computers. It would take hours to do by hand. Is thre a simple way

Unless your willing to network the machines (which would take a while to do but save you major time down the road) your only real option would be to burn the User Account you created to CD/DVD or a external firewire/USB hard drive. Then go to each machine and copy the User Account to the Users folder on each machine. Shouldn't take more than a couple minutes per machine (depending on how fore- sightful you were when you set-up the machines to begin with).
