webmaster,
YOU ARE GENIUS !! THANK YOU....but what would i do to call this from
WebObjects ?? you know ??
like i mentioned ERXRuntimeUtilities I was told could do this but i
need to use some variables that
are entered into a form in my WO app to use as the username and
password in the script...??
and i'm having trouble locating ERXRuntimeUtilities in Project Wonder
2.0 ??
got any genius tips to do that ??
also, i have searched for what options i add to the niutil command to
enable mail access on the localhost
for a user ?? This is something that is assigned in Workgroup
Manager....
You rule, i would donate some money to you if you could help me with
this....
That would be huge...
Thanks,
Nathan

Anybody know where it is ?
I need to call some command-line calls from my WOapp to automatically
add somebody to the
NetInfo Manager Database. by the way, anybody got a script to do this
already ??
also, what is the command to enable mail access for a user (Like when
I add a user in
Workgroup Manager on X Server and I enable Mail access for them and
specify the server)...how would I do this
with the command line or how could I call it from WO ??
Thanks,
This will create a user named "natwalk" with a password of "walknat"
and give him "staff" privileges, it shouldn't be too difficult to
script this.
in terminal execute:
sudo niutil -create . /users/natwalk
sudo niutil -createprop . /users/natwalk uid 2048
sudo niutil -createprop . /users/natwalk gid 20
sudo niutil -createprop . /users/natwalk shell /bin/tcsh
sudo niutil -createprop . /users/natwalk home /Users/natwalk
sudo niutil -createprop . /users/natwalk passwd "walknat"
this is a possible script and has a -test option to see the
information without actually creating the user, you can add any
proprieties you require and you can call if from WO.
filename - myadduser
save in /usr/bin
chmod 0755
chown root
example execution: (need to run as root so we sudo)
sudo myadduser -d /Users/natwalk -i 2048 -g 20 -u natwalk -p walknat
#!/bin/sh
