Re: [9fans] newbie question

To me happened that when I created my user, due to some control-char,
the directory created was not "/usr/myname", but "/usr/*name", where
"*" is a character visible only on certain places. For instance, it's
not visible in 'acme', but visible in a shell.
Of course, I cannot remove that directory because I don't know how did
I type that character. :)
Check so a simple "lc /usr"

That is the problem. I can not run the
/sys/lib/newuser
script at the teminal prompt. Either I am not writing
the command correctly (this might be but I doubt it),
or it is because I do not have any permissins to get
to the directory /sys/lib and execute the newuser
script. Which is a bit strange. Because I can list the
contents (ls) of the /sys directory, but can not get
into the /sys/lib directory in order to see the
scripts...

Why not ? (what happens when you try to run
/sys/lib/newuser ?)

After I created the user with fossilcons I have
rebooted
the system (fshalt). After starting up the system
to
log in as user1 it gave me these error messages...

... because you did not yet execute
/sys/lib/newuser. It is a script.
Just execute it and reboot again.


I have entered these things when login in:

root is from (tcp, il, local)
[local!@d/sdC0/fossil]:
<ENTER>
user [none]: user1


You did everything right.

The messages were:

dossrv: serving #s/dos
lib/profile: rc: .: can't open: '
bin/lib' file does not exist

That happens because you did not yet run the
newuser-script which copies
a "basic" profile-file (among others of course) to
your homedir.

It is a black terminal screen... I can list the
contents of my directory. It is empty. The working

Because you did not yet... ;)

directory is /.../user1. When I try to list the
contents of /sys I can see the directories under
it.
But can not list the contents of /sys/lib or any
other
directory in that...


That is good/ok/like it should be. Just execute...
