[9fans] changeuser

[Fariborz 'Skip' Tavakkolian]

I've setup an auth/cpu server. changeuser rebels with:

changeuser: can't create user bootes: access permission denied

I'm too sleepy to follow the code, and can't find anything obvious in
comp.os.plan9 archives or this list.

P.S. I had not verified that network setup was working properly or even
verified that the ne2000 was actually operating before the conversion to
auth/cpu. There were hints in some postings that this may be the cause; I
can't see why.

I have the auth/cpu set up now. I had missed a step (didn't create a home
for bootes), and also there was a hardware config problem.

FYI, when using Linksys Ether16 (ISA), use Linksys's utility program to
hard assign the addr/irq on the card; In the system's BIOS setup, reserve
that addr/irq for ISA use.
