- Apologies if this is an FAQ or otherwise dumb question.

- OS9 Level I for Coco 1&2 had a login command which seemed to support a
- multi-user environment. It would use a /d0/sys/password file which the
- sysadmin could update quite simply. Although Level II associates a User
- ID with every processs, it has no login command and the manual doesn't
- seem to mention support for a multi-user system. Surely the sysadmin
- doesn't have to program his own support system?
-
- I have no serious use for a multiuser system but I would like to play with
- it (I recently got an old serial terminal making it logistically possible
- to have two people using the system simultaneously). What is the deal
- with Level II and multiple users?
