auth/keyfs should be run in cpurc, so that there is
one running for the whole machine.

Then, at the auth server, you should be able to
run auth/changeuser.

A bad character in a file name under /mnt/keys
means that you've used the wrong password.
After adding a user, you should see the user
when you do ls /mnt/keys.

Try this:

	1. decide on a auth id (say, bootes) and password
	2. run auth/wrkey to set the password
	3. run ">/adm/keys" to reset key database
	4. put "auth/keyfs -wp -m /mnt/keys /adm/keys" in your cpurc
	5. reboot your cpu server
	6. run auth/changeuser bootes and set the same password
	7. ls /mnt/keys; make sure bootes is there
	8. run auth/changeuser to create an account for yourself.

[9fans] cpu/auth auth/changeuser problems

[William Gunnells]

Sorry to bug you with newbie questions. As I progress
I'm finding out that most of my problems result in
either having a bad bootes password and or improper
usage of auth/changeuser.

After following the wiki documentation for cpu/auth I
try to auth/changeuser to add bootes and william. I
have noticed that my /mnt/keys directory is all wacked
up. So I'm going in an endless circle of manual
running
auth/keyfs -wp -m /mnt/keys /adm/keys >/dev/null
>[2=1]
and auth/changeuser.

So What's the proper order. How do I correct this. I
receive a bad character in file name under /mnt/keys.
Do I have to also run auth/enable whatever_user also.
