I apologize for not being as smart as you. The documentation was not out-of-date or branch specific.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. khm
