still no go 🙁
No errors from the createuser pkg, or the password hash thingy.. but it’s putting something in there, because even the default password doesn’t work.

[nobrainer]

So close and yet so far. On 10.6.4 – using the password hash – it doesn’t seem to have worked. It created the account, hid the account, changed the profile picture, but the password didn’t go through again, and I couldn’t tell if the password even went through properly back into the createuser.pkg file – is there a way to check?

Can I put the password in quotes like below?

./shadowHash “($1″>password_hash

[nobrainer]

it created them on my 10.6.4

I did have it uncommented, and I had the password set between the ” “, but it didn’t use it, it ignored it and made it “password”. I’m trying again with our password in there w/o the ” ” stuff… if that doesn’t work – I will try the passhash…Looking at the script, it looks like it prompts me for setting the PW? Will it know what account to associate it with?

[nobrainer]

On mine I finally got it to create the user- but it created with the wrong password – it didn’t use the one I put in the USERDATA file, and I double checked it wasn’t commented out… is there anything it won’t pass? Ours has “special” characters in it – ( $ 1 ….

Also, it came up straight to signing in as that account – it didn’t list “other” account or anything. is there a way to set that, as well as the background jpg? I see where to change the icon for the user, but not the background.

Thanks in advance!

I’m running the Up2date w/ –process…

I modified the 10.6vanilla catalog file as follows…

I tried modifying the 10.6 vanilla catalog file, adding the 2 packages to “3rd party software”

System Settings:

Third Party Software:

Create User createUser.pkg sha1:47a9975d928ed9bc0b5b46639cd76c5c448fac0d
Clear Registration clearReg.pkg sha1:b0ba0f6bfd26956562e286bbcdfa8f78dd3722eb

Software Settings:

then I get this… from: sudo ./instadmg/AddOns/InstaUp2Date/instaUp2Date.py 10.6_vanilla –process

I believe you just don’t put anything in – erase everything between the ” “, but I put the PW in there as I need it to be specific for all systems.

i downloaded it a few days ago from the update thing.

svn checkout http://instadmg.googlecode.com/svn/trunk instadmg

I had to run it twice.

now I’m on 315.

Allister, I’m using 309…and I’m not putting in 01 (02, 03, 04). Should I?
As far as updating the doc file – I think just expanding on stuff… the addons, how to get extra pkg files working, if there is modifying of the catalog file…

SGStuart, Following the guide, I just modified the userdata file with the info I want, and then placed the pkg in the folder. What catalog file are you referring to?

Thank you for the help!

[nobrainer]

I guess I kind of have the same problem.

I’ve tried placing the createuser.pkg in installerfiles\custompkg as well as installerfiles\instaup2datepackages and neither seem to work for the user accounts.

I don’t get the registration startup – so I think clearReg is working.
