Command line Administration limits??
I must state explicitly that I do not care about the GUI tools. ?No real
administrator of systems capable of handling thousands of users will ever care about the GUI tools.
I appreciate apples limited documentation, but it doesn't
address everything I would need to have done. ?The 'adding a user',
'modifying a user', and 'deleting a user' are covered. ?But at no time
have I found what I need to be able to explicitly:
????Create a user
????Create their home directory
????Set their disk quota
????Set their email quota
????Modify a users disk quota
????Modify a users email quota
????Modify a users name, adjust home directories and mail
????????configuration to match new account parameters.
????Delete a users disk quota
????Delete a users email quota
????Delete a users account have it automatically remove their
????????quotas, home directories, and files included therein.
All from the command line. ?I am more than capable of writing scripts
if I need to run multiple commands for each, finding those commands
via OS X has not been easy. ?I know how to 'make a directory'. ?I do
not know how, in the OS X way of doing things, how to do the rest.
That is the part that stumped me and used up most of my time for a project
I am working on
I know how to:
????Create a user in OpenDirectory.
????Change a users password in OpenDirectory.
????Change a users 'gecos' or full name in OpenDirectory.
????Change a users login name in OpenDirectory.
????Delete a user in OpenDirectory.
Anyone have a better reference than apples standard docs?
Thanks in advance
