# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user uid my_user_id |

|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user gid 20 |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user shell "/bin/bash" |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user home "/Users/my_user" |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -create /users/my_user _writers_passwd my_user |
|||
# passwd my_user |
|||
# ditto /System/Library/UserTemplate/English.lproj /Users/my_user |
|||
# chown -R my_user:staff /Users/my_user |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -read /users/my_user |
|||
# nicl -raw /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb -append /groups/wheel users my_user |
|||
