Hi.
if the accounts you want to create are for people who already have
athena accounts, then as root, simply run
/usr/athena/etc/adduser [username]
for example
/usr/athena/etc/adduser yoav
If the accounts are for people who don't have athena accounts,
then it is a little mroe messy. decide on a username and user-id that
isn't going to be one used on your system for other people (a number
from 100-999 is usually a good idea.. to test if one is being used, type:
/bin/athena/hesinfo [uid] uid
so to check if 100 is being used, I would type:
/bin/athena/hesinfo 100 uid
in this case, I get a reply, so 100 is no good.
Once you have found a uid, run
setenv EDITOR emacs {or if you prefer
another editor, set it here}
vipw
to edit the master.passwd file, and put an entry for this
user. the entry will be similar to other entries there, type
man 5 passwd
to find out what each of the ':' seperated fields are. This will
then create a new account for the user. You will then need to set
the password, so run
/usr/bin/passwd [username]
and set it to whatever you want the person to use.
(try to avoid picking a username that athena is using btw)
