Create completely hidden accounts in 10.5 and 10.4.11
Authored by: jimnieken on Fri, Feb 1 2008 at 10:44PM PST
Yay! My first hint! Anyway, I modified the script to use a full path through the directory rather than relying on relative paths. Things should work better now. Also, you can now supply a GID and a UID on the command line. It would look like: mkadmin jimnieken password 510 511. I was thinking I should do more error checking to make sure the supplied GID and UIDs are not already in use. For that matter, the script still also places the user in the administrative group. I should fix that.

Please let me know if there are any other problems.
