| I just get this when attempting to use: Completed action parameter query "username" with description "Please specify the name of an existing local user account" Failed wait sh -c "dscl localhost -passwd '/Search/Users/{parameter "username" of action}' {parameter "secret" of action}" Not sure how to troubleshoot - any suggestions? | |

| If you wanted to kill the keychains for the user I use a simple bash script. #!/bin/sh # Enter your action script here rm -rf /Users/*/Library/Keychains/* rm -rf /Users/*/Library/Keychains/.fl* shutdown -r now Please be aware this irrecoverably deletes all user passwords for all users, so please use with caution. | |
