.TH NEWUSER 8
2
.SH NAME
3
newuser \- adding a new user
4
.SH SYNOPSIS
5
.B /sys/lib/newuser
6
.SH DESCRIPTION
7
To establish a new user on Plan 9, add the user to
8
.B /adm/users
9
by running the
10
.I uname
11
command on the console of the file server
12
(see
13
.IR users (6)
14
and
15
.IR fossilcons (8)).
16
Next, give the user a password using
17
.I auth/changeuser
18
on the console of the authentication server (see
19
.IR auth (8)).
20
At this point, the user can bootstrap a terminal using the new name and
21
password.
22
The terminal will only get as far as running
23
.BR rc ,
24
however, as no
25
.B profile
26
exists for the user.
27
.PP
28
The
29
.IR rc (1)
30
script
31
.B /sys/lib/newuser
32
sets up a sensible environment for a new user of Plan 9.
33
Once the terminal is running
34
.BR rc ,
35
type
36
.IP
37
.EX
38
/sys/lib/newuser
39
.EE
40
.PP
41
to build the necessary directories in
42
.BR /usr/$user ,
43
create
44
.BR /mail/box/$user/mbox ,
45
.BR /cron/$user/cron ,
46
a reasonable initial profile in
47
.BR /usr/$user/lib/profile
48
and
49
plumbing rules in
50
.BR /usr/$user/lib/plumbing
51
(see
52
.IR plumber (4)).
53
The script then runs the profile which, as its last step, brings up
54
.IR rio (1).
55
At this point the user's environment is established and running.
56
(There is no need to reboot.)
57
It may be prudent at this point to run
58
.IR passwd (1)
59
to change the password, depending on how the initial password was chosen.
60
.PP
61
The
62
.B profile
63
built by
64
.B /sys/lib/newuser
65
looks like this:
66
.IP
67
.EX
68
bind -a $home/bin/rc /bin
69
bind -a $home/bin/$cputype /bin
