Please pardon the newbe question, but I'm having trouble adding
users (me) to 386bsd-0.1.
If there is a better place to ask newbe type questions, please
let me know.
I tried the following:
1. looking for a 'adduser' etc program/script
2. makeing an entry in the /etc/passwd file
makeing am entry in the /etc/master.passwd file
adding the home directory in /usr
3. rebooting the machine after 2
when I try to chown the /usr/mark directory, I get something
similar to "no user match" (I confess, I didn't write it down)
I looked for a /mail directory for other users, but I can't find
it.
Any ideas?
Also: I started making a map of the file system for my own
benifit. Does such a thing already exsist? If so where? If not,
would anyone find it usefull?
BTW - Great OS. I'm having a great time. Thankx Bill & Lynne.
Thankx for your help.
