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

Thanks in advance

Tom*

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).
