Re: [9fans] Adding a new user.

[Mats Olsson <plan9.meo@gmail.com>]

Hi again!

Missed "adm" in adm +<user> in my brief explanation earlier. Think
I'll first check for a command in /bin/rc that would be more
appropriate than 'uname'. There just must be one more obvious that
I've missed. Well, will see tomorrow.

Best wishes,
Mats
