Help Creating a user on vsta.

Hello,
        I changed my root entry in the passwd file, and everything
seems to work alright.

        So I created a user because, I have bad habit of deleting
everything so I want to login as a user instead of root.

        Once I log in I can not create any files. Well, typically
if a user is created, we create a dir and change its ownership,
but I didn't do that since there is no chown command.

        Could somebody suggest me a way to change owner ship of
the file.

        Here is the passwd, group and id file entries, please check and tell
me if there is anything wrong with these entries.

passwd file

root:root:0:0:root:root:/vsta/home/root:root:/vsta/bin/sh
vanier:vanier:100:100:vanier:usr.vanier:/vsta/home/vanier:vanier:/vsta/bin/sh

group file

root:0:sys.sys
users:100

ids file

sys:1
        sys:1
        io:2
        dos:3
        misc:4
bad:2
        bad:2
usr:100
        vanier:100

Regards
Vanier
