De-personalizing 10.5



How can we de-personalize a Leopard install, since the NetInfo method
no longer applies? (ie, the way we did it under 10.4 and earlier won't
work).

Goal is to setup a new machine and then strip out all personalization
and user info to return it to "first boot" status.

I routinely rebuilt machines and installed software and applied
updates and then removed the local.nidb folder and the individual user
folders alone with /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and the machine was
basically returned to first boot.

Any ideas? I've not found a KB article on it yet.

TIA,
Doug
