This is just a quick tutorial on how to add users from the command line in snow leopard. This command will also work in previous versions of os x. The following commands need to be run as root or with the sudo command.
Creating a new user
dscl / -create /Users/bsdjedi
Create a new user and set the default shell for that user
dscl / -create /Users/bsdjedi UserShell /bin/ksh
Creating a new user and setting the uid as well
dscl / -create /Users/bsdjedi UniqueID 800
Setting the password when creating a user
dscl / -create /Users/bsdjedi PASSWORD
or you can use the tradition unix way and run the following:
passwd bsdjedi
If you would like to give a user admin right run the following command
dscl / -append /Groups/admin GroupMembership bsdjedi
This concludes my tutorial on add users in snow leopard ( os x ) from the command line if need more information just do a man dscl. :)
