using CreateLionUser.pkg to create an hidden user

[ramuntcho]

Hi,

I use this package to create an hidden user, but it’s not really hidden :
– at the firs boot, it appears in the window login, but not after, replace by Other… (is it possible to make Other not appearing ?)
– In the System preferences, it appears in Comptes (in French) with the other users. Is it possible to hide it also here ?

Thanks for any answer

Hi,

I answer myself !

In the CreateUserLion.pkg, you can specify the UniqueID as 499 for the hidden user. Then you can add to lines in post flight script :
– defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow Hide500Users -bool YES
– sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow SHOWOTHERUSERS_MANAGED -bool false
