[MacTUG] Managing some 10.10 items with a login script

This is a pretty interesting and large login script.

I found it mainly as I was wanting to ensure that
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.mdmclient BypassPreLoginCheck -bool YES
Bypassed the client always checking on login if there have been changes to my profile. I want to avoid that to speed login, and I seldomly change my profile.

At any rate, this guy has gone farther than I would want to go to avoid using a profile manager to lock stuff down, but if you are looking for how to lock something down with a script, this may be a good place to look for the item. Reasonably commented too: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=12075

I have just finished a Rebuild from Hell® migrating my labs to 10.10. When I recover I will post the highlights and lowlights! ;-)
