It goes like this: I bought a mbp from a good friend of mine. We created new user account (mine) with administrator's privileges, and then deleted his. Everything seemed to be fine.
But, every now and then I get some "no sufficient privileges" error message. I try repairing permissions several times but the problem is still there. Today I couldn't update skype because of that. Had to uninstall it and then install it again..

Then I did dscacheutil -q group command in terminal to see if there's some trace of friend's account and look what I've found:

name: _lpadmin
password: *
gid: xx
users: markoprokic djorzgul

markoprokic is deleted account.

I guess that it's the reason why things go crazy. I searched a lot but didn't find anything that could solve this situation.

Any ideas?
