IMHO, if you don't know how to use the command line, you shouldn't be
trying to admin ....  well, pretty much any platform but Windows or Mac,
really.  (Mac perhaps more so than Windows.  In Windows there has at
least always *been* a legacy CLI, even if it's been a crappy one and you
could only do a limited set of tasks with it.  On classic MacOS, if you
couldn't do it through the GUI, you COULDN'T DO IT, period.  I'm unclear
to what extent this has changed with OSX.)
