This is a step-by-step example of the administrative steps involved in adding a new user to Coda. Here we assume that the host named scm is one that has the read-write copy of the databases. The new user is going to be added to the groups Users and Developers.

This sequence has created the new user account, and added the account to the appropriate groups. Now in order to activate the account, we need to set an initial password with the authentication server.

admin@anymachine$


au -h


scm


nu


Your Vice Name:


codaadmin


Your Vice Password:


********


New User Name:


jan


New User Password:


newpassword

To finish up, we can create a home volume, mount it, set the ACLs, and the user is set up. So all the user needs to do is change his password.

root@scm#


createvol_rep users:jan E0000100 /vicepa

cfs mkm /coda/usr/jan users:jan


admin@anymachine$


cfs sa /coda/usr/jan jan all
