   I'm a DOS person converting to UNIX and I'm experiencing some
   difficulties with a few basic concepts.  I thought that in
   order to keep user away from vital areas, they needed to be
   put in a group called USERS, but when I do that, they have
   access to some scary functions.  Would someone mind walking me
   through the process of adding one user to my system who
   couldn't do harm to it?  I've purchased BSDi UNIX software,
   and I believe it's version 2.0 - I've had it a week now,
   so it should be the most recent version as of this post.
