Hi,
Its worth reading the 'Users and groups'
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/users_and_groups) page.

You can list existing users with 
Code:
--------------------
    users
--------------------

You can list existing groups with 
Code:
--------------------
    groups
--------------------


There might be an existing non user you can use on the system already,
it will probably have a password if you don't know what it is or there
are no other users then you need to add one. 
If you have to add a user it can be done like this (adding a using
called wiz)
Code:
--------------------
    useradd -m wiz
  passwd wiz
--------------------


When you login with putty you can prepend the IP address with your
username eg wiz@192.168.1.66

The above might not be enough, you might need to be in certain groups
and possibly be in sudoers too.

Off to work will check in again this evening....
