Hello everyone,

Not sure if this is the right place, but OS X isn't your standard Unix, so I figured here would be best. I am looking at creating a script that will be interactive that admins can run to create users.

Now, 10.4 uses netinfo database and netinfo manager to handle it's users. So I am looking at writing a script using the niutil command that the admin can input the full name and the short name of the user and the script does the rest. When we migrate to 10.5 I'll have to convert this script over to the dscl command, but I will cross that bridge when I get there.

I am not quite sure how to make it interactive though, my scripting skills are intermediate at best.

Thanks,
