Letting my friend borrow my mac, wanna block my files

EDIT: OK that's weird. It didn't let me see into the other admin's directory until I logged into that account, and now it acts just like you guys all described. Now I'm going to have to restart and see if it still lets me.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, something must be different with mine, because after I restart and before I log into the 2nd admin account, the first admin account just sees this when I change ownership on the directory:

And then after the 2nd admin logs in, the first admin can then access #2's files. Hummm.

Sounds normal to me. That's what I never understood...why would I enter in my password to view another user's files? This is something I don't think administrators should have access to.

I've thought the same thing before too. It's weird that if 2 users have equal privilege levels, all you have to do is get info and you can change their files over to your ownership by entering your password, not theirs. I can see root being able to access all using his password, but not 1 admin to another.
