That of course is not a Mac OS X command, but a Linux command. Anyone know the correct syntax for adding a user and group at id 5000 and name
vmail?

Seriously, your google foo amazes me :) Thanks, I have been hunting around for something simple and concise, and this should do it.

As a side thought, I was going to use ports to make a quick portfile with a add user and add group command in it to get the job done. Would that more or less have sufficed as well?

Thanks
