Anyone know where I can find documentation on the various properties available for directory services on the Mac?
man dscl
only tells me that I can -create
or -read
a record. It doesn't tell me how to create them; what properties are available and the options can be set on each. I know a few (RealName
, UniqueID
, PrimaryGroupID
, UserShell
) but where can I find documentation on all of them?

Read Appendix "Mac OS X Directory Data", it contains all what you ask about:
Here is excerpt from the last one:

You can get this document here.
There are a lot of newer documents on Apple site (haven't seen them yet). They may be useful to.
