The documentation was not out-of-date or branch specific. The only problems
you had with adding a user were born of your assumptions. You keep googling
things, but google only helps you find information when you don't already
know where it is. 9front has a wiki, doc.cat-v.org exists, /sys/doc exists,
and man pages come free with each installation.
Speaking of assumptions, I'm not convinced 'increasing the number of users'
does anyone any good. It didn't help Windows any.
