plus_1

Bash script to create local user account(s) in: GNU/Linux (via useradd), and macOS (via dscl).

Notes

This tool was developed for sysadmins managing user acounts on servers not tied to a network identity manager, but will work just as well in desktop environments. Also, there are standalone GNU/Linux and macOS add user scripts in this repo, should that strike your fancy.

Getting Started

Place the script in: /usr/local/bin (or create it, if it does not exist).

set the executable bit on the file:

chmod +x /plus_1.sh

then call it:

sudo bash plus_1.sh

and follow the on-screen prompts.

Log file is writtern to the location the script is called from. This is user modifiable.
