| enable ssh or "remote access" then add an account to it, login remotely, sudo to root, then copy data off to another machine. Edit: if you have Apple Remote Desktop, it's a piece of cake. |

| the solution was to go in over the weekend and just backup the machine to an external drive while the user was gone. took about 40 minutes. its a corporate machine, and you sign a computer use policy, i'm the senior admin of IT.... i dont need permission  |

| no unions, but its just not proper conduct to do that. we'd rather the users not know we are going to fire them. |

| so... what would happen to you if say some of your superiors stumbled across this thread and saw that you were posting this info on a public domain that their employees could see and know that a potential firing and whatnot is going to happen? |
