After, when you log in for the first time run
/sys/lib/newuser
look at the wiki (url above) for this kind of information.
I've already read through the wiki. I did run newuser after I manager
to login as my new user. However, I still cannot set any passwords, so
logging in is kinda insecure.
And why do you have to reboot in order to change users? UNIX has had
that from the beginning, and I don't see any reason to drop it.
Thanks

Hi.
I just installed Plan 9 on an old machine, and I'm having a bit of
trouble. I am used to Linux, so any comparisons you might make to Linux
should make sense to me.
First, I installed Plan 9 from CD with the fossil file system. It
installed just fine; when I rebooted, I chose to login as "glenda" and
came up with a nice screen. Now I want to add some other users, but I
haven't had much luck. I tried "con /srv/fscons" and then typing "uname
john john", then quitting. I then ran "auth/changeuser john" and tried
to set my password, but I got a "permission denied" error. Help?
I am also a bit confused about how to login/logout. Do you have to
reboot every time you want to change users?
Thanks
John F.
