===== Adding a User =====

|:!:|THIS IS A DRAFT|

|x|'[[#front_vps_update_tasks|sysupdate]]' is reserved for the user glenda (Thu Jan 14 08:07:38 GMT 2021).|

^ Section^ FQA 7 - System Management^
|7.3.1 - Adding users|http://fqa.9front.org/fqa7.html|
|7.4.2 - Adding users|http://fqa.9front.org/fqa7.html|

You may want to add a user to your system once you get the hang of things. There is really //no need to create a new user// when you are first starting out. It's safer to use the Drawterm rio rc prompt (%) for the following task, should there be a need for the '[Backspace]' key.

To create a new user, you must connect to the file server console by typing: '''con -C /srv/hjfs.cmd'''<sup>1</sup>. Once at the file server prompt (''a blank''), create a new user. Replace USER with what you want your new user to be named: 'newuser USER'. You will need to add that USER to the "sys" group if you want it to be able to change system configuration files. Again, change USER to what your new user name is: 'newuser sys +USER'. Exit the file server console prompt (''a blank'') by typing: '**ctrl+\**'. You will now be at the "''> > >''" prompt; type '**q**' to quit the "''> > >''" prompt.

<code>
  % con -C /srv/hjfs.cmd
  newuser USER
  newuser sys +USER
  newuser adm +USER
  newuser upas +USER
  
</code>

''Ctrl+\''

<code>
  >>> q
  %
</code>

The following steps assume that you have [[:plan9front_-_acme_sam_abaco_mothra_and_man|edited]] files while user "glenda", have run '[[#shutdown_and_restart|% fshalt]]' from the [[#shutdown_and_restart|VPS console]] rc prompt (%) or Drawterm rio rc prompt (%), been able to "[[#shutdown_and_restart|[s] - Force Shutdown]]" and "[[#shutdown_and_restart|[r] - reset or start]]" the VM from the VPS Maintenance Shell, and have used 9front Drawterm successfully. Enter the new "USER" name after an '**fshalt**' and a VPS Maintenance Shell [**s**] - //Force Shutdown// and [**r**] - //reset or start//.

''user[glenda]:'' <- Enter the new 'USER' name.

Verify your new "[[#adding_a_user|USER]]" login with '''pwd''' or '''lc -l'''. __**Stop**__ if '''pwd''' does not show your new "USER" name. 

Initialize the new user environment with '''% /sys/lib/newuser''', from the VPS console prompt (%).

<code>
  term% /sys/lib/newuser
</code>

A list of eight directory and file tasks.<sup>2</sup>

<file config /plan9-l/Have_fun/add_an_unnecessary_user/>
mkdir /n/other/usr/$user
mkdir /n/other/usr/$user/tmp
cp -x /usr/glenda/sdf /usr/$user/sdf
cp -x /usr/glenda/start /usr/$user/start
cp -x /usr/glenda/bin/rc/riostart /usr/$user/bin/rc/riostart
cp /usr/glenda/lib/profile /usr/$user/lib/profile
mkdir /usr/$user/www
cp /usr/glenda/www/* /usr/$user/www/
</file>

A list of one pending task.<sup>3</sup>

<file config /plan9-l/Have_fun/pending_task/>

bind -c /n/other/usr/$user/tmp /usr/$user/tmp

</file>

A list of two optional tasks.

<file config /plan9-l/Have_fun/optional_tasks/>

mkdir /usr/$user/lib/mothra
cp /usr/glenda/lib/mothra/hit.html /usr/$user/lib/mothra/hit.html

</file>

The mentioned eight tasks are preformed from the VPS console prompt (%).

<code>
  term% mkdir /n/other/usr/$user
  term% mkdir /n/other/usr/$user/tmp
  term% cp -x /usr/glenda/sdf /usr/$user/sdf
  term% cp -x /usr/glenda/start /usr/$user/start
  term% cp -x /usr/glenda/bin/rc/riostart /usr/$user/bin/rc/riostart
  term% cp /usr/glenda/lib/profile /usr/$user/lib/profile
  term% mkdir /usr/$user/www
  term% cp /usr/glenda/www/* /usr/$user/www/
</code>

A VPS console prompt (%) ''% sam -d'' edit example, similar to ''% ed''. Optionally, a new user start file can be created while user glenda is connected with Drawterm, before a new user is created. The ed, sam, and acme editors are usable with a Drawterm rio rc prompt (%).

<file config /plan9-l/Have_fun/edit_start/>

term% lc start
start*
term% cp start start2
term% sam -d start2
 -. start2
/=glenda
=glenda
echo 'key proto=dp9ik dom=plan9 user=glenda !password=L0gWlaM' > /mnt/factotum/ctl
s/=glenda/=moth1

=L0gWlaM
echo 'key proto=dp9ik dom=plan9 user=moth1 !password=L0gWlaM' > /mnt/factotum/ctl

</file>

Start Drawterm from the local operating system, after the ''/usr/$user/start'' user name is changed, and the ''/usr/$user/start'' www directory name is changed.

<code>
  $ ./drawterm -h YOUR_IP -u new USER
</code>
