If i understand your question correctly, as i see it you want to give Rogers
permission to login to your system be it from the console or via a remote
connection.
Realy all you needed to do was use the 'adduser' program to create an account
called Rogers.
Possably you might need to create an alias for Rogers in /etc/aliases
for sendmail, try it without first.
Rogers: <machines_hostname>

Yes with 'ifconfig' but i cant tell you in which file the commands are
located as you do not say which distribution you are using.
In slackware its /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
