User and Group Management ========================= User accounts and group membership are stored under `etc/users/` and `etc/groups/` respectively. A user account consists of a directory under `etc/users/` that contains files with that users account information, the only required file is `password` containing a password for the user. For example: % ls etc/users/ eekee uriel yosyp % cat etc/users/uriel/password mypass Groups consists of files named after the group name stored in `etc/groups/`, containing the names of the group members, one per line. The group 'admin' is 'built-in' and any members in that group will have admin privileges for most werc apps by default. Example ------- To create a user called [glenda](http://glenda.cat-v.org) that is a member of the group `rabbits` you can do: % mkdir etc/users/glenda/ % echo passw > etc/user/glenda/password % echo glenda >> etc/users/rabbits Utils ----- The script at bin/aux/addwuser.rc allows you to even more trivially add users. addwuser.rc user_name user_pass [groups ...]
