Whenrunning fossil(4), you can use ! con -l /srv/fscons to connect to the file server console. To disconnect, type ctl-\ andthen type q at the >>> prompt. Type enter to see a prompt. Fossilcons(8) describes the fossil console commands in detail. Tocreate a new user run(replacing <user> with the desired user name): ! uname <user> <user> To allow the user to make changes to the system (configuration)files, which are writable by group sys, add the user to sys: ! uname sys +<user> And similarly if desired for the files in /adm: ! uname adm +<user> If you are using the (old) WORM-based file server, the equivalentcommands are ! newuser <user>! newuser sys +<user> See fs(8) for details. AUTH SERVER If you are running a Plan 9 auth server, you will also need to createan account on the authentication server, using auth/changeuser (seeauth(8)). This step is not required for a standalone machine. SETUP When the user logs in for the first time, he or she should run/sys/lib/newuser to create a minimal Plan 9 home directory.
