mlNewbie question: get list of users
FROM : Frank Fenn

Hi developer,

I'm relatively new to MacOS, especially Cocoa programming. I would like
to know, how to get a list of all users
defined to the system and whether they have administrator rights or not.

Scanning the mailing list archive and I've found that there are
different ways to do this. If I look in the Account
preferences I can set a user as Administrator, Accounts also doesn't
show all users compared to Netinfo or
/etc/passwd.

Is there any code example to get a list of users defined in Accounts. I
only need users that have a directory in
/Users.

Any help is appreciated.

Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
