You would appear to be on the wrong list. This list is full of
programmers and, as a rule, we have no idea how to actually use the
computer (-: You might want to try one of the following:
<http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/client-management>
<http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin>
Note: this does NOT work (in single user mode):
fsck -fy
mount -uw /
launchctl load \
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
dscl . -delete /Users/localacct AuthenticationAuthority
passwd localacct
exit
Try
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServicesLocal.plist
instead. Last time I need to do local directory node modifications
(to get me out of a serious jam on a pre-release Leopard), this did
the trick.
