see kfscmd(8), particularly disk/kfscmd 'newuser fred', or a similar
command in fs(8) for the real file server.

it's true you then need to log in as the user and rc /sys/lib/newuser
because there correctly is no super user.

>>btw: is there a shutdown command or do I just switch my laptop of?

be sure to do disk/kfscmd halt
