Sorry if this has already been posted. Forum search appears to be playing up at the moment.

I decided to tighten up the security on my home iMac (running Leopard) to bring it in line with my PowerBook (running Tiger), which has separate user and admin accounts with all application ownership set to root, etc. etc.

However, having performed all this, logged in as my special admin account and demoted my user level one it appears my user level account can still perform all sorts of admin-only stuff, such as creating folders at the volume level and overwriting applications. Anyone else getting this?
