Subject: [9fans] create user with password

Dear all,
I am a newbie and looking into
Plan 9 - now in earnest. I have
been considering it for the last
two years. (To make it short,
I'll have a lot of questions,
naturally, and I kindly ask you
to be patient with me...)
Firstly, I would like to have a
user. I don't like to be glenda,
actually, and I would like to
remove glenda alltogether. I have
found many different articles on
how to create a user, and
somehow now I have the user nino.
But I do not know how to set a
password for nino. The things with
auth/keyfs which I read somehow do
not work. So how can I have a
password? - I kindly ask you to
tell me the commands. Assume you
want to create a new user, what
would you type at the terminal? What
I did was this thing with
uname nino nino,
uname nino +sys and
uname nino +adm.
After nino has a passoword, I would
like to know two things: 1st: How do
you make a "normal" user? - I guess
I just have to omit the +sys and
+adm stuff above. 2nd: How do you
make a "superuser"? - Somehow the
system complained that nino has no
right to change /dev/key or
something thelike. Glenda could not
do it, either. Adm apparently did
not exist, I could not log him in
anyway.
I thank you in advance for your kind
help.
Kind regards,
Nino
