Hi all!

Is there a way to determine the serial number for
a Jaguar/panther mac from the command line? I'd
like to write a script to mail mac addresses, host
names and serial numbers from the MacBooks at our
office. I guess finding the full names and login
names of system users would be good to collect too.

i believe you can use ioreg on an OSX host to get the Serial Number/UUID
<hint grep for IOPlatformSerialNumber>

regarding login's etc. not too sure on a foolproof method for that but
would love to hear how others are addressing this...

You can capture logins by scripting a LoginHook.  I set this up for  
auditing purposes and its very straight forward.  Just google  
LoginHook.  Email me off list for more details or for a copy of the  
little shell script I had used for this.

Sorry for the previous top-post, I'm emailing from my phone ( which is  
apparently akin to drunk dialing)

You may also want to look at the command line version of apple system  
profiler.  You can get all sorts of goodies in addition to serial  
numbers.

IIRC.  /usr/sbin/AppleSystemProfiler

Actually, I've not seen that before- I believe the intended utility is:

/usr/sbin/system_profiler

If we can assume the system user is uid 501 then:

$ nicl . -search /users 0 1 uid 501

will tell you the "name" and "realname" on 10.3  Don't know about 10.2.

Sidenote for Leapord, there seems to be no more nicl:

nicl . -search /users 0 1 uid 501
-bash: nicl: command not found
plumb:~ ike$ whereis nicl
plumb:~ ike$

However, there IS a very comprehensive man page:

plumb:~ ike$ man nicl

Thank goodness the nicl man lives on.

Subject: [macosx-unix] leopard filevault and Extended case sensitive
Message-ID: <20071204213727.GE8353@run.duo>

Hi, thanks all for the serial number, command line
access techniques....  Today, before I can try that,
I have another problem.

When doing a leopard media "erase and install", we've
chosen to format the disk as
	"Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
vs the default
	"Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
for compatibility with software we want to run.

We can set the FileVault master password, but when
we attempt to turn it on we get:

        You cannot turn FileVault on because the
        home folder is on a volume that is not a Mac
        OS Extended volume.

While we might be able to deal with the non case
sensitive filesystem; erasing the installed software
to make a new filesystem will be a substantial
detour.

We definitely want FileVault.  Is there some way
to make it work on the Extended Case-sensitive
filesystem? My guess is the FileVault IS compatible
it just doesn't know it...

If someone here has the answer, I'll feel lucky
:) If not, which forum would be good to pose this
question?

// George

humm, I didn't even see the nicl man page...
sure would be nice if dscl had a grep-able
snmp output. Maybe there is an xml2snmp converter?
(by snmp I mean sysctl like output) 
Good to know about dscl though, thanks.

Thanks, that't the one I ended up using.

system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep Serial
system_profiler SPNetworkDataType | grep -E '(Type|MAC)' | grep -Ev '(DHCP|PPP|Fire| 00:1d:4f)'

pretty hacky but it got me what I needed today.

Can someone/anyone please enlighten me as to where Darwin has moved
/usr/ports ?

This directory does not exist on my OS X.4 installation, and Googling for
Darwin /usr/ports hasn't revealed the secret of what they've done with it.

I would be most appreciative.

Also shout outs to everyone who missed the holiday party last night, it was
off. the. hook.

We have a g77 (binary) package installed in unique

the ld.so.conf tools I'm familiar with don't seem

Not as straight forward as I expected but I do see a solution on
the horizon :-} if there is a good howto on the topic, please let
me know.
