i think the following is correct.

on a standalone machine (with a local kfs file system),

	disk/kfscmd 'newuser fred'

then log in as fred and run the newuser script.

if you've got the full cpu-server+file-server+terminal collection
use newuser on the file server console, auth/changeuser on the
cpu server console, then have the user run the newuser script
once logged in.  i once wrote something that would install
many users at once, but i can't find it now.
