By default, in Mac OS X Leopard, any user can adjust the wireless network settings and connect to any available network. This may be convenient for most situations, but many users might wish to restrict non-administrator users from changing these settings.
Users should follow these steps:
- Log in as an administrator and go to the \”Network\” system preferences.
- Select the AirPort interface and click the \”Advanced\” button.
- In the AirPort tab, use the plus (+) or minus (-) buttons to add or remove wireless networks, only adding desired networks to the list.
- Uncheck \”Remember any network this computer has joined\”
- Check both \”Disconnect from wireless networks when logging out\”
- Check \”Require Administrator password to control AirPort\”.
- Click \”OK\” to save changes.
- With the advanced options closed and the AirPort interface still selected, uncheck \”Ask to join new networks\”.
- Click \”Apply\” to save changes.
