d-rwxrwxr-x  M  11  sys  sys 0
Glenda
glenda:glenda:glenda

plan9 wiki says;

Start by installing the distribution as though creating a standalone
terminal. Reboot the system, and log in as any user that is in group sys. To
know how to add a user to group sys see adding a new
user<http://cm.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/adding_a_new_user>.
The user needs to be part of group sys in order to be able to edit the
required system files. In the default installation, the user *glenda* will
do.

and then you could continue to;

edit cpurc, cpurclocal

The first step is to edit /rc/bin/cpurc*. To add machine-specific
customisations,

cd /cfg; mkdir $sysname; dircp example $sysname
but i was not able to go through here due to said

problem.

Glenda is the user running dircp and the owner is sys?
on your 3rd question is i don't know the answer.

But, when i got home this morning, i tried to reproduce
the problem at my home plan9 installation and i didn't face the
same problem. and i was able to go through the first step.
the only difference is;
my home installation was from sept. 2009 iso and
my installation at work is from april 24 2010
could this be a problem on my installation cd?
