I am trying to roll a setup for a server that cannot use MacPorts.
How do I go about adding users. I have played with the dscl command
and have create users that do not show up under the System
Preferences > Accounts but my group wont stick when I go to chown
the home directory. Any ideas? Here are the commands I am using.
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/nagios
sudo dscl . -create /Groups/nagios
sudo dscl . -create /Groups/nagios UniqueID 9000
Groups don't have a "UniqueID" property in Darwin but rather
"PrimaryGroupID", as revealed by "dscl . -read /Groups/
<some_existing_group_like_www>". I'm guessing chgrp(1) is looking
for the value of "PrimaryGroupID" for the group you're passing it and
failing when not finding it, so I'd try using it for your custom
groups and see if things work like that.
HTH!
