Any way to mess with macs? Ex: What's the equivalent of NetSend, or how do you send messages to networked macs?

[The Pentium Guy]

I'm kinda bored.

Our teacher's got all of our macs (osx) networked together, and our accounts are the uber-limited kind, so we can only run certain programs (ex: Mathematica, Sketchpad, etc)

Since I've got math next period I'm wondering what I can do with this...I tried going in C:/System Files/Terminal.exe and it said access was denied...

So since i'm bored what can I possibly do to do something crazy? I have math next period....

No, when they told you OS X was more secure than Windows they really meant it.

 

[Modeps]

you mean they're protecting themselves against having to fix the computers, so that makes you mad?

Oh well.
If I could find the equivalent of the Registry for mac......then stuff could happen.

Install Windows on them.

there isn't one

is this OSX or os9 with "at ease" or "multiple users?"

I got more than one saturday detention in high school for monkeying with those macs and freaking out everyone

I still have a pink slip somewhere that says under offence: "hijacking school network," whtaever that means
