[9fans] Problems with adding users.

[Nolan Hamilton]

Hi, I am trying to add a user. I run "Con -l /srv/fscons" at the
prompt I add a user using uname.  I add the user to sys, and then
login with my new user I do run /sys/lib/newuser also.  I try to run
acme though and it says: "Cant create temp file: blah blah blah
permission denied"  How can I change this?

did you run auth/changeuser $newuser as the hostowner?

sounds like you have no $home/tmp, but /sys/lib/newuser will
have created one for you so it doesn't make sense.

check if $home/tmp exists and is writable by you.
