Hey all, I donloaded Plan9 (the fourth version I think), from the http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/plan9/download.html website.
The installation went smooth. When the system boots I log in using the user name glenda (as told in the installation instructions). I get to the windows environment (rio I believe). As the next thing, I wanted to create a user that I can use to log in to the system. I tried to create a new user. I was able to do these things... con -l /srv/fscons uname user1 user1 uname sys +user1 Ctrl-\ c <ENTER> When I tried to do auth/changeuser user1 it requested passwords and other information. After that it returned me an error message (this might be understandable, because I installed it on my laptop, which is a standalone machine)... I can see the new user "user1" in the /adm/users file. The next step is to run the /sys/lib/newuser for the user "user1". For this I need to log in to the system using this user. But when I reboot the system (by using fshalt and doing CTRL-ALT-DEL) it asks me for the file system (I think), where I accept the default value (local) and then asks me to enter a user name. I enter "user1" as the username. But when I use this user, it does not get into the windowing environment. It displays a couple of error messages on the screen. The directory for the user is empty. And I can not run the /sys/lib/newuser on that terminal like screen. Can you guys tell me what I am doing wrong? I want to log in as the new user "user1" and run the newuser command. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Riza __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
