Thanks a lot, Clark. That worked. What I mean to say is that my account now appears in the xml _developer.plist file. I'll watch to see what xcode does with this.
So - since it seems you possess knowledge of the arcane 'dscl' command, can you tell me whether there is a nice GUI for such stuff? Or has Apple left us back in command-line unix-world for configuration like this?
Thanks again.
Best,
