then click Preferences.
3 Click the lock and enter your user name and password.
4 Select a user, group, or computer account in the account list, then click the Login preference
icon.
5 Click Login Window and set the management setting to Always.
6 Select “Show password hint after 3 attempts to enter a password.”

Preventing Restarting or Shutting Down the Computer at Login
Normally, the Restart and Shut Down buttons appear in the login window. If you don’t want
the user to restart or shut down the computer, you should hide these buttons.
You may also want to hide the Restart and Shut Down commands in the Finder menu. See
“Managing Finder Preferences” on page 296 for instructions. Check the Commands pane of
Finder preferences and make sure “Restart/Shut Down” is not selected.
To hide the Restart and Shut Down buttons:
1 Open Workgroup Manager.
2 Use the At pop-up menu to find the directory domain that contains the account you want,
then click Preferences.
3 Click the lock and enter your user name and password.
4 Select a user, group, or computer account in the account list, then click the Login preference
icon.
5 Click Login Window and set the management setting to Always.
