Enable Remote Login (SSH) in System Preferences > Sharing, then in Terminal run:

ssh -NL 5901:localhost:5900 localhost and enter admin password

In the Screen Sharing.app connect localhost:5901 (default is 5900) and enter password for other user account. Then login that user from the login UX.

I beleive this only works reliably from two accounts with admin privs.

1. do a fresh Erase Install Script
2. create user account as admin
3. login and auth iCloud
4. login to github with iCloud passkey
5. setup TouchID with sudo https://gist.github.com/ChristopherA/a0f6612b1a0491b8a80e0e0a1e58318e
6. terminal and my simple macOS Preferences Defaults
7. scutil --set HostName eurynome
8. scutil --set LocalHostName eurynome
9. scutil --set ComputerName eurynome
10. sudo hostname eurynome

TouchID for sudo

This capability would be have to be renabled ever each system update, but starting with macOS Sonoma 14.0 there is a file that survives system updates to enable it permanently.

(from post in https://sixcolors.com/post/2023/08/in-macos-sonoma-touch-id-for-sudo-can-survive-updates/)

Open the Terminal app. Navigate to the directory that stores the authentication files by typing the following:

cd /etc/pam.d

Various Versions of macOS/OSX will fail on install for various reasons. You can fix them by disconnecting from your wifi or network or resetting your NVRAM. Booting from your USB stick, opening terminal and doing: date ########## where the # nubers are below. Format is: MMDDhhmmYY

10.16 - 0.5 Leopard   - date 0101010121 <- Currently not needed
10.15 - Catalina      - date 0101010120 <- Currently not needed
10.14 - Mojave        - date 0101010119 <- Currently not needed
10.13 - High Sierra   - date 0101010118

10.12 - Sierra - date 0101010117

It feels fairly ridiculous to me that you can't do simple increments of a counter that works on all three platforms (iOS/macOS/watchOS).

There is a hack that works with only default scripting functions, but only within a repeat loop.

• Use the "Number" verb to create a text item.
• Use the "Add Variable" verb to append the Number to a text variable.
• Use the "Count" verb to count the items in that text variable.

MacOS find and grep are slightly different from Linux. I've found this useful:

# find using regular expression
find . -type f -name "*.part*" -print
