We can push them easily to the User template since we know the plist files need to be owned by root:wheel. However, putting a copy of this file in each existing user's home directory is proving to be a challenge. We can use ditto to copy the file to each user's home directory: #!/bin/sh # # loop for i in $(/bin/ls /Users) do /usr/bin/ditto /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/Library/Preferences/com.mypreference.plist /Users/$i/Library/Preferences/com.mypreference.plist done exit 0 But how do we then set the ownership of the file to each respective user? I hope it's something we can add to the above script. Perhaps another loop function? PS, This is a vendor provided plist file that isn't compatible with defaults command, so we have to push the file out to everyone.
