I tried booting up off the OSX install CD and repairing disk and permissions and even changing the password on this "ghost" account. I’ve tried command/E but that doesn’t do anything. But, since all the stations have been cloned, it's weird that the "ghost" user only appeared on my station. I’ve tried the eject button on the keyboard, but that doesn’t work. I know we use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone all our stations to a portable external hard drive for emergency backups and maybe something happened there that added the "ghost". He's a good friend, so it's not like he added it to control my machine, and he's curious how it got there as well. The strange thing is the account I can't delete is my Supervisor's Powerbook Account, as if it was seen over the network or something. I cannot delete it (the "minus" button is greyed out) and when I go to my hard drive > users > the only folders you see in the Users folder is the main account and "Shared". The main one (the admin) and what I will call a "ghost" account since it turned up out of nowhere. Somehow, my station ended up with two user accounts. Of the 5 Macs running OSX in our Department (one being my supervisors Powerbook, the other four are desktops) we have each machine setup with only one user account and each user is the machine's administrator account. I work on a Power Mac G4 running 10.3.9 on the job.
