-<h1>Adding a new user.</h1>
-
-If the new user doesn't already have an account on our departmental machines,
-get the departmental sysadmins to add an account for him/her.
-
-Create a directory for the new user on /home/mercury.  (You need to
-be root on uranus to do this).  
-
-Our NIS servers are listed in the hosts file, which is in the CVS module
-local.
-
-Get the new user's existing /etc/passwd entry from a departmental machine,
-and then add it to /etc/passwd
-on the NIS master server (using adduser or useradd to be safe).
-The new entry should be below the "+::0:0:::" entry
-that divides the password file
-into the local users and the NIS users.
-Make sure that the new user's home directory on our machines is the one
-you created on /home/mercury.
-
-If the NIS master machine has an /etc/shadow file,
-add the user to that file as well.
-Make sure that the numerical user ids
-are identical to the ones on departmental machines.
-
-<P>
-
-Add the new user to group mercury in /etc/group on the NIS master server
-(using vigr to be safe).
-
-<P>
-
-If you did not copy an existing encrypted password,
-then set the password for the new user
-by executing "passwd <username>" as root.
-
-<P>
-
-Then execute the following commands as root on the NIS master server to
-update the NIS database.
-
-<P>
-cd /var/yp<BR>
-make<BR>
-
-<P>
-
-To make sure that the update to the NIS master
-is effective on a particular NIS client,
-restart the NIS daemon on that client.
-
-<P>
-
-Now add a directory on all the /home file systems that we have access to.
-
-<P>
-
-The user should be encouraged to subscribe to the Mercury mailing lists,
-and to add themself to the list of people involved in the Mercury project
-on the web page (w3/contact/include/people.inc in our CVS repository).
-You should also manually add the user to the mercury-local mailing list
-by modifying the file mulga:/etc/conf/mail/lists/mercury-local.
