my login name is ‘john’, in linux, I should see john in the /etc/passwd file.
but in max os 10.6, I can’t found such record in /etc/passwd file! Can anybody tell me why and where I can found such record!
this post help me out.
See this question over on superuser. To quote from there: “The /etc/passwd file is only consulted when the OS is in single-user mode. The “standard” location for account information on OS/X is the DirectoryService.”
