Apple Mac OS X Server (version 10.2.3 or later) - Manual (Page 192)

192 Chapter 3
In addition, you can include
UserShell (the default shell)
NFSHomeDirectory (the path to the user’s home directory on the user’s computer)
Other user data types, described in Appendix A
For group accounts, the list of attributes must include
RecordName (the group name)
PrimaryGroupID (the group ID)
GroupMembership
Here is an example of a record description:
0x0A 0x5C 0x3A 0x2C DSRecTypeStandard:Users 7
RecordName Password UniqueID PrimaryGroupID
RealName NFSHomeDirectory UserShell
Here is an example of a record encoded using the description:
jim:Adl47E$:408:20:J. Smith, Jr., M.D.:/Network/Servers/somemac/Homes/jim:/bin/csh
The record consists of values, delimited by colons. Use a double colon (::) to indicate a value
is missing.
Here is another example, which shows a record description and user records for users whose
passwords are to be validated using the Password Server. The record description should
include a field named dsAttrTypeStandard:AuthMethod, and the value of this field for each
record should be dsAuthMethodStandard:dsAuthClearText:
0x0A 0x5C 0x3A 0x2C dsRecTypeStandard:Users 8
dsAttrTypeStandard:RecordName dsAttrTypeStandard:AuthMethod
dsAttrTypeStandard:Password dsAttrTypeStandard:UniqueID
dsAttrTypeStandard:PrimaryGroupID dsAttrTypeStandard:Comment
dsAttrTypeStandard:RealName dsAttrTypeStandard:UserShell
sk8allday:dsAuthMethodStandard\:dsAuthClearText:pword1:374:11:comment:

mattm:dsAuthMethodStandard\:dsAuthClearText:pword2:453:161::
Matt Mitchell:/bin/tcsh
As these examples illustrate, you can use the prefix “dsAttrTypeStandard:” when referring to
an attribute, or you can omit the prefix. When you use Workgroup Manager to export
character-delimited files, it uses the prefix in the generated file.
