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 sudo dscl . -create /Users/nagios sudo dscl . -create /Users/nagios RealName "Nagios User" sudo dscl . -create /Users/nagios NFSHomeDirectory /usr/local/nagios sudo dscl . -create /Users/nagios UserShell /usr/bin/false sudo dscl . -create /Users/nagios UniqueID 9000 sudo dscl . -create /Users/nagios PrimaryGroupID 9000 passwd nagios sudo dscl . -create /Groups/nagcmd UniqueID 9001 sudo dscl . -append /Groups/nagcmd GroupMembership nagios sudo dscl . -append /Groups/nagcmd GroupMembership www sudo chown -R nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios Thanks In Advance! -Ron
