I noticed in install-finish that it parses its argument stream and has arguments for the UID and GID to be used for the first user (NU_GID, NU_UID).
Is there a way through a manifest or otherwise during an installation to provide values for these? I tried things like faking the property value for the first user (setting the -U uid in the description or name) but that did not work. Each time I did that and updated the manifest, it caused the auto-installer service to go into maintenance with no reason given in the log (ether install_log or the service log). So, (1) is there a way to pass this sort of thing in? Or does it need to be filed as an RFE? Enterprise customers that I talk to have a standard list of administrative or privileged user names and their associated UIDs that they want to control across the enterprise. And (2) is it a bug that if the GECOS field for the first user includes things that might be interpreted as options that it causes the installer to fail? What if my name were "Administrative user -U something or other"? --SCott
