When we set up users on Darwin earlier, we added root and cltbld, but didn't remove Administrator (which is set up in the base image).  I specifically omitted this step to avoid being accidentally locked out.

Now that things are working better as far as user logins, we should delete that user.

I tried out this patch.  One issue: the default screen sharing options are that only users in the Administrators group can connect.  So this patch means that we don't have any users that can connect to the slave via vnc/screensharing anymore. I notice that on the older slaves, cltbld is in the admin group, perhaps this is the reason why.

Hmm, we'll need to get that fixed, then, although root would probably work too, right?  I suspect we can do the same thing as we do with SSH access - delete the com.apple.access_screensharing group, allowing anyone to login.

But we'll need to get the VNC situation sorted out first, so I'll wait.

The concern here is that we need to keep the 'administrator' password up to date when it changes, so we *do* need to take care of this at some point.

Now that this patc https://bug779678.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=652471 has been applied, removing the Administrator user is fine :-)
