Easier way...
Authored by: BraindeadMac on Nov 18, '02 05:51:06PM
One of the great things about unix and OS X is that there is almost always at least one way of doing things.

In the event of corrupted backups of the netinfo database, you can restore from defaults by booting into single user mode and moving the netinfo db out of the way, e.g.,

mv /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb.bad

then delete the file /var/db/.AppleSetupDone and reboot.

Apple documentation is occasionally thorough, and this is one instance, see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107210
