== Adding accounts on other machines ==
Please '''do not create accounts directly with useradd/userdel'''. Instead:
* Log into sunjammer forwarding your ssh agent (ssh -A)
* Become root with `sudo -i`
* Run this shell script to create a user and copy the credentials from sunjammer:
remote-useradd <remotehost> <user> <groups...>
Typically, you'll want to add users to groups `sudo`, `adm`, `libvirtd` and `docker`.
