[Casper] run script as different user?

[Thomas Larkin]

You can do this many ways.

use a wild card and apply to all users

enforce it from MCX if you are running Open Directory

Use composer and take a snap shot of the modification and assign it to smart groups with in casper, then deploy

set it up as a self service policy and use the ~/ for that users plist

set it in the (forgot the file path) configuration file that pushes out new user settings every time a user is created

What exactly are you trying to do?

I want to write defaults to a plist for a user that won't get horked.
Needs to be pre-created...
