. -/.bash_login

for me it would only work when i used a tilda instead of a dash i.e.

. ~/.bash_login

Once i had completed these steps i was able to proceed with the above tutorial.

Thanks!

Its been awhile since I have done this but I think by virtue of entering your password to enable changes to the Directory Utility, you have successfully enabled the root user. I would do a search to see if you can test for an enabled root user.

Sorry I am not much more help on this.

At this point I am STUCK ON STEP #1: Enable Root User. I open the Directory Utility, then click the pad lock, (it prompts me for my user password) i enter my password, then i select Enable Root User from the edit menu expecting to be prompted for a password but nothing happens.

Does this mean I don’t have to enter a password?

Do i need to be logged in to Leopard as the root user to do this?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

In brief, my 3 kids couldn’t come home tonight do to air traffic control problems and missing their connecting flight. Of course, their luggage was sent on to Austin, TX but they have to get a hotel room, pay for dinner, and have no clothes until they are re-routed in the AM. It was not their fault. Over 20 passengers stranded. You’d think that US Airways would try to route them on another airline or at least put them up for the night. If I have to listen to one more “English is my 2nd language” person who doesn’t give a damn, I am going to puke. Like you said though, it’s not worth my time to even write a complaint at this point. US Airlines is a lost cause.
