Thanks! Unfortunately, I won't have console access to my office OS X computer until next Monday, and I can't create accounts remotely, since no matter how hard I try it seems impossible to create a new user in OS X via the command line. There were directions online for older versions of OS X, but they don't apply to OS X 10.5. The only page I could find on 10.5 -- http://osxdaily.com/2007/10/29/how-to-add-a-user-from-the-os-x-command-line-works-with-leopard/ -- does not work at all (the very first command there fails with an error). I just spent 15 minutes googling for this problem (for the fourth time in my life) with no luck. If there are any OS X sysadmins out there that actually know how to create accounts remotely via the command line, let me know. Otherwise, we'll have to wait until next Monday.
