Hi, I just installed netBSD/Athena on my machine, and I have a lot of
questions that I want to look up in some on-line documentation
somewhere.  

Does such a thing exist?


--
Currently, some of the questions are:

when logged in as root, 
/usr/bin/passwd  does not ask for an old password before it allows you
to change to a new one.  this sort of bothers me.
is this right?

I can't seem to create any accounts on my machine.  I was hoping for
an adduser, like Linux has.  I tried editing both /etc/passwd and
/etc/master.passwd and neither seemed to work.

I can't seem to use su.
It complains that I'm not in the right group.  What is the right group
and how do I put myself there?

thanks,
Derek.
