Re: [9fans] Wiki standalone CPU/Auth instructions

[Georg Lehner <jorge-plan9@magma.com.ni>]

Hello!

the user running auth/changeuser needs to be in the adm group.  If you
follow the standard instructions auth/changeuse is run by bootes, the
hostowner of the auth server.

Changeing the ownership of the adm files seems the wrong way to go
for me.  The "sys" group is for filesystem administration, and the
"adm" group for authentication, these should be kept separate.

I have put together setup instructions at:

  http://www.magma.com.ni/moin/Plan9Tutorial

trying to smooth the rough edges of the Plan 9 setup instructions.
Everything there is taken from the original Plan 9 Wiki and other Plan 9
documentation, nothing new there, just put nicely together (I hope).

Regards,

        Jorge-León
