It's not super required to add a new user on standalone systems. Obviously file/auth servers have more of a need. You're system isn't less secure using Glenda. You're going to be host owner no matter what user you use.

Adding Users

Add a new user on the file server:

echo newuser username >>/srv/cwfs.cmd

If needed, make the new user a member of the upas (email) group:

echo newuser upas +username >>/srv/cwfs.cmd

The newuser filesystem command is described in the fs(8) manpage. Examine the '/adm/users' file to investigate the results.

To add a new user to the auth server, make sure auth/keyfs is running, then set an auth password for the user:

auth/changeuser username

New users are created without a profile, mail directory, tmp directory (needed to edit files with sam) or other confections. To install a default profile for a new user, upon first login, run:

. /sys/lib/newuser

then edit /usr/username/lib/profile to your own specifications.

See cwfs(4) and fs(8) and auth(8).

Greetings,

I've searched the net to find a way to add a new user.  The following command doesn't work:

con -l /srv/fscons

I gather that command is for fossil, and fossil isn't used anymore.  I poked around /srv but couldn't find a substitute.  Appreciate any help.

Blake
