Hey everybody,
with
dscl . list /users
i can rad the Users informations from the boot Volume.
Someone an idea how I can read that informations from an external hard drive (mounted in targed disk)?
dscl /Volumes/External list /users
doen't work 😕
Data source (/Volumes/Virtual HD) is not valid
You need to read the individual plist files in /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/ on the drive in question.

Works! Thanks a lot!

Your depth of knowledge is amazing!
I'm not sure what you did. I was thinking about listing the files then removing the path and .plist suffix which would give you the same results as listing with dscl but on another volumes. If the volume name and path are /Volumes/Virtual HD ->
sudo find /Volumes/Virtual\ HD/private/var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/ -type f -name "*.plist" | \
while read line; do
line=${line##*/}
echo ${line%.*}
doneThank you roam for the compliment. You might be giving me more credit than is due....:-)
