[9front] permission question

cpu% man -t man | page -w

cpu% 

It's a new server. I created. here is 

cpu% cat /adm/users
-1:adm:adm:glenda
0:none::
1:tor:tor:
2:glenda:glenda:
3:william:william:sys
4:web:web:
10000:sys::glenda,william
10001:map:map:
10002:doc::
10003:upas:upas:glenda,william
10004:font::
10005:bootes:bootes:

I thought sys was good enough. does it have to be "adm"?

page example.pdf works fine. This works fine in glenda as well.

This has nothing to do with adm, you've created your user incorrectly.
The entry in /adm/users for your user defines it as a group that contains sys.
You need to delete the trailing "sys" from your user line.
Then reload the users table by writing to the fs console.

Quoth Jacob Moody <moody@posixcafe.org>:


wow such a simple thing screwed up so much. Weird. Thanks everything is working! Except audio.  

I installed 9front on mac mini but the audio seems to be going through MSI via drawterm. How is that
possible?

drawterm exports the audio device of the computer you run it on as
/dev/audio. It exports other things too. For example:

- Filesystem, at /mnt/term
- Run commands; see the os(1) man page.

drawterm man page mentions some.
