I just installed Plan 9 on an old machine, and I'm having a bit of trouble. I am used to Linux, so any comparisons you might make to Linux should make sense to me. First, I installed Plan 9 from CD with the fossil file system. It installed just fine; when I rebooted, I chose to login as "glenda" and came up with a nice screen. Now I want to add some other users, but I haven't had much luck. I tried "con /srv/fscons" and then typing "uname john john", then quitting. I then ran "auth/changeuser john" and tried to set my password, but I got a "permission denied" error. Help? I am also a bit confused about how to login/logout. Do you have to reboot every time you want to change users? Thanks John F. -- http://nuwen.net/~digi/cluster Be sure to evaluate the bird-hand/bush ratio.
