Adding A New User

#Creating a new user typically requires three steps:
# *	Create the user on the file server
# *	Create the user on the authentication server(not required for
#	standalone terminals)
# *	When the user logs in the first time, he should execute
#	/sys/lib/newuser
#
#FILE SERVER
#
#To create a new user, first create the user on the file server. When
#running fossil(4), you can use
#
#! con -l /srv/fscons
#
#to connect to the file server console. To disconnect, type ctl-\ and
#then type q at the >>> prompt. Type enter to see a prompt.
#
#Fossilcons(8) describes the fossil console commands in detail. To
#create a new user run(replacing <user> with the desired user name):
#
#! uname <user> <user>
#
#To allow the user to make changes to the system (configuration)
#files, which are writable by group sys, add the user to sys:
#
#! uname sys +<user>
#
#And similarly if desired for the files in /adm:
#
#! uname adm +<user>
#
#If you are using the (old) WORM-based file server, the equivalent
#commands are
#
#! newuser <user>
#! newuser sys +<user>
#
#See fs(8) for details.
#
#AUTH SERVER
#
#If you are running a Plan 9 auth server, you will also need to
#create an account on the authentication server, using
#auth/changeuser (see auth(8)). This step is not required for a
#standalone machine.
#
#SETUP
#
#When the user logs in for the first time, he or she should run
#/sys/lib/newuser to create a minimal Plan 9 home directory.
