Re: MacPorts is hijacking account on MacOSXServer

I'd vote for that as long as that is less than 1000 so as not to conflict with the Directory Administrator account. It's what I was suggesting in one of my emails, but maybe wasn't so clear about it. - David On Jul 25, 2011, at 7:21 PM, James Berry wrote: > > What if MacPorts were simply al

Re: MacPorts is hijacking account on MacOSXServer

Looks like it's perhaps time to add a configure flag for bounding the UIDs. Easy approach employed by those who need it, ignored by everyone else. ___ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listin

The "." in the dscl command specifies the local directory domain. If you change that "." in the dscl command to "/Search" it will pickup the OD Users as well as the local users of the current system. However, just doing that won't fix the problem since it can then still create a local accoun
