1.3 Adding a New User to Solaris and Vnmr(J)

There are different procedures for that. I will describe one here.

1. Add the user to Solaris^TM: as root type
   useradd -m -c "Jean Fourier" -d /export/home/jean -g nmr -s /usr/bin/tcsh jean
   Here Jean Fourier is an arbitrary comment, jean will be his login, and his group will be nmr. Make sure that the group nmr and the shell /usr/bin/tcsh exist (they exist if the above command was succeeded :-)
2. Create a password for Jean Fourier: as root type passwd jean
3. Configure the Vnmr(J) environment for the user: as root type:
   /vnmr/bin/makeuser jean
4. If you run VnmrJ^TM configure jean as a VnmrJ user. As vnmr1 user type vnmrj adm. The admin window will pop up. Then click $\rightarrow$ $\rightarrow$ .
   A new window pops up. Select the user , click at the right arrow, select the option, and . The new user should now appear at the VnmrJ Admin window when you select .
5. If you run VnmrJ, update the database: run dbsetup as root.

I also suggest that you orient Jean Fourier to configure his desktop colors in order to avoid colormap problems. See Section 3.3 for details.
