Message-ID: <20060206163833.52526.qmail@web33803.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)
Hey all,
I donloaded Plan9 (the fourth version I think), from
the
http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/plan9/download.html
website.
The installation went smooth.
When the system boots I log in using the user name
glenda (as told in the installation instructions).
I get to the windows environment (rio I believe).
As the next thing, I wanted to create a user that
I can use to log in to the system. I tried to create
a new user. I was able to do these things...
con -l /srv/fscons
uname user1 user1
uname sys +user1
Ctrl-\ c <ENTER>
When I tried to do
auth/changeuser user1
it requested passwords and other information. After
that it returned me an error message (this might be
understandable, because I installed it on my laptop,
which is a standalone machine)...
I can see the new user "user1" in the /adm/users
file.
The next step is to run the /sys/lib/newuser for the
user "user1". For this I need to log in to the system
using this user. But when I reboot the system (by
using fshalt and doing CTRL-ALT-DEL) it asks
me for the file system (I think), where I accept the
default value (local) and then asks me to enter
a user name. I enter "user1" as the username. But
when I use this user, it does not get into the
windowing environment. It displays a couple of error
messages on the screen. The directory for the user
is empty. And I can not run the /sys/lib/newuser
on that terminal like screen.
Can you guys tell me what I am doing wrong? I want to
log in as the new user "user1" and run the newuser
command.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Riza
