MCX and InstaDMG

[Laurent]

Install both files: username.plist and GeneratedUID work well. But I have to reboot the target computer to use this new user account. How can I “notify” the directory service about this new user without rebooting? Is there some launchctl to run to read files again?

You just have to tell DirectoryServices to reload it’s configuration files:

killall -HUP DirecotyService

This must be run with root permissions (so: with sudo), and you don’t want to forget the ‘-HUP’ as without that DirectoryService will sometimes erase your changes.

But since this is a InstaDMG conversation, you don’t have to do this, since DirectoryServices on the target volume is not running, and will pick up things when you boot it for the first time.
