Remove iCloud config pop-up from all VM users #73

Closed Sauraus closed 4 years ago

Can you describe your reasoning behind this? Are you creating VMs for which you have multiple users logging in? I can see justification for doing this but I think it's better to do it with a Configuration Profile (like this) and install it to /var/db/ConfigurationProfiles/Setup during the OS installation, rather than modifying the User Template.

Why unload the spindump process? Do you find that it's slowing down your VM?

Sauraus commented 8 years ago

I already looked into that setup, its only downside is the GUID etc, that you have to 'invent' each time?

As for disabling spindump and potentially other processes my thinking was who needs that on VMs but I guess my use case might be special in that I only use VMs in my dev space with vagrant/vmware to developer my Chef cookbooks.
