OK my bad. The question I asked was like thinking out loud without
giving details. So I'm using Plan 9 on the Raspberry Pi (Plan 9 from
Bell Labs that is). The problem is that after running "uname <user>
<user>" (can't reproduce right now since my screen/TV is occupied) the
rc shell is put on hold and in the documentation (just have a single
side printout so I can't give any accurate source of it right now)
says that you can give sys and adm rights to that user by continuing
with: uname sys +<user> and uname +<user> witch gives you error
messages (can't be more specific now because of the forementioned
reasons). Then we also have the problem with this specific platform
that defaults to user glenda without prompt. The cmdline.txt looks
like this; readparts=1 nobootprompt=local user=glenda ipconfig= so the
system must be halted to change the user. The file cmdline.txt is kind
of the init file in several OS's for the Raspberry Pi. My first test
would be to run "uname <user> <user> and ctrl+alt+del to reboot and
cut the powed to change the user in the cmdline.txt file. Hopefully (I
think it was possible to get into the system again) I get i to Plan 9
and can run: "/sys/lib/newuser" as said in the "doc" I have. Now I
should have asked (and do) if this is the right thing to do? or what
could get me another user than the default? I hope you bear with me
even if this whole thing went backwards. First the question and then
the problem or more correct the situation. Thankful for any hints in
the right direction or just what you guys think about the situation.
I'll give it a try tomorrow anyhow. Thanks for showing interest!

Kind regards,
Mats
