Chapter 1
Before You Begin
You can’t change the names or IDs of system accounts. So when you migrate users and
groups, don’t try to do so. However, you can add users during migration to two system
groups—admin and wheel:
 Wheel is a group that gives members almost as much control as root. If you’re a
member of the wheel group, you can use the
su
(substitute user) command in the
Terminal application to log in to a remote computer as the root user. Use
ssh
to log
in, type
su
, then supply the root password when prompted.
 The admin group gives members the right to administer Mac OS X Server. Admin
users can use server management applications and install software that requires
administrator privileges.
Here are the predefined user accounts:
