Hallo Nino!

I am also a beginner to the system, and I have just
recently started to use the system by logging in from
a remote system. Here is what I have done so far.

I have done a normal Plan9 installation, on which I
can log in as any user. I have two users, 'glenda'
with adm rights, and my own user 'jam' that I have
added as you describe. If I log on directly on this
machine, I am asked of no password.

But instead of logging on to the machine directly,
I connect to it using drawterm. I am then asked
for a username and a password. the docment
that made me succeed in setting this up is:

Dear all, 

First of all, let me thank 
you for your kind attention. 

I did run newuser, in fact, 
that is what got me out of 
the console. I now have a 
graphical environment. Still, 
that did not give me a 
password. 

Rest assured, I am perfectly 
well aware that as soon as 
somone gets his hands on my 
machine, my data is basically 
his unless it is encrypted. 

But in the long term, the idea 
will be just this - my Plan9 
box shall be remotely accessible. 
(From Plan9, BSD, Linux and 
Windows, if possible.) Thus, I 
want to know how to get to a 
password. Like, say, in Linux you 
would say: passwd nino. 

So, basic question remains: 
What I would like to have 
is that user nino has a password 
and is the owner of the machine 
and everything. Let us say someone 
else, say, "puppet" shall be 
another user running as a non- 
administrating user. How exactly 
do I set this up? (At this stage, 
I just want to see what puppet can 
do and what puppet cannot do.) 

(I am reading the man pages, but 
I must say, at least personally, 
I find e.g. FreeBSD's man pages less 
confusing. Then again, Plan 9 is 
entirely new to me.)
