You may be interested in the example deployment dock package (part of the additemtodock project : http://www.lucidsystems.tk/tools/additemtodock This is one approach which means you do not need to edit the "/System/Library/User Template". The way that package works is that it will overwrite the dock at login. However, you could modify it so that it simply ensures some specific applications are in the dock at login rather than managing the dock. I hope this information helps, even if it simply provides an alliterative avenue for you to explore. Note : If you use the example package, you may want to modify it to use LaunchD to kick off the scripts rather than Login Hooks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This email is protected by LBackup, an open source backup solution. http://www.lbackup.org On 22/04/2012, at 3:51 PM, Paul Cook wrote:
So, what if one also wants to add icons to the dock for yet to be created users?
The templates for new users are stored in "/System/Library/User Template". Is there an easy way to also update each of these?
Thanks for a really helpful and informative bit of information.
Best Wishes,
Paul

1) You have an issue in that you are updating the dock of the user whose home directory is denoted by "~" -- other logins will not be updated. Logins created later will not be updated. (In other emails, these issues have been discussed.)
dockutil can do it for all existing user accounts, according to its documentation.
