The basic idea of mulinux is one diskette, one (root)user, many pcs.
So you can manage a lot of pcs with one diskette to
try/install/configure something.
As I know, mulinux is not designed for "different"-multiuser. For a long
time no password was necassary, because there was no login. Now I mean
to remember, there is a real /etc/login, but i newer used/tried it.
The "hard way" to add an account for a new user is to "vi" a new entry
in /etc/passwd und create a new directory for the user. Do not forget to
chown the new user-home-dir. Perhaps you need some .profiles, .xyzrc.
typically located in /etc/skel in the big linuxes. To change the passwd,
/usr/bin/passwd is also needed.
Perhaps someone can answer more exactly for mulinux
