hi
As mentioned in an earlier mail (fromyesterday) my admserver (the one on
:81) and I cant get it to work.
Anyway I need to add a new user to a site, but I dont have the normal
tools im used to (adduser etc.)
How do I add a new user without the admin system?
-------------------
You might try to use the Shell-Tools available from
the sun/cobalt FTP site. That way the Cobalt metadata
in the Postgres database will be maintained so that
when you get the admin gui back, it will "known" about
any users you've added. Otherwise if that doesn't
matter to you you could always just use a text editor
to directly alter /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, etc/group, etc.
