Users normally do follow the Sysadmin/Shell account request. The account requests arrive to a support queue on our RT system (Machine/treehouse/rt).
Guidelines
Ask users to follow diligently the Sysadmin/Shell_account_request procedure.
Users should briefly motivate their request. "I'd like to distribute some Sugar-related files on people.sugarlabs.org" would suffice.
Shell accounts shouldn't be granted to untrusted individuals without referrals. Shell accounts that are known to be unused should be disabled with system-userdel.
Account creation on shell.sugarlabs.org
To create an account, become root on Machine/sunjammer and type:
system-useradd <username> <first_name> <last_name> <email>
At some point the script will prompt you to paste the user's ssh key. You can skip this part and edit ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys manually.
The procedure automatically sends a welcome email to the user. The email is also copied to ~user/welcome, in case they loose the original message.
