De-Authorizing Admin Access in Tiger

I have a routine that works just fine for storing an admin password in Tiger…

user name adminAcct password myPass with administrator privileges

But I want to be able to de-authorize the account with click of a button.

I can do set myPass to “” and if I display myPass in a subsequent dialog, it’s blank…

but still every command that uses user name adminAcct password myPass with administrator privileges IS STILL AUTHORIZED

I suspect for a while until a timer expries. Is there any way to FORCE it to expire?

do shell script “sudo -K” user name adminAcct password myPass with administrator privileges doesn’t work. Oy.

Did you try a lower case “k”?

Yes, I tried both.

I would really like to know the commands to de-authenticate my admin user…

anyone know the answer?:frowning:
