I think there is something I don't understand here. To add an user on a running machine you have to log as root, even in Windows. I was thinking your user already have a GUI (kde or other) running. Then you have only to lauch yast and give the root pass, you can even launch only the user yast module.
there is never any reason to log as root in kdm in openSUSE - I do not do this even once a year
Neither do I. Except in a brand new measurement production system to add a software package and a user. Significantly, in that order. I see in our KIWI build of OEM images, we do the following: baseUpdateSysConfig /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER kdm4 baseUpdateSysConfig /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS yes baseUpdateSysConfig /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_REMOTE yes baseUpdateSysConfig /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_LOCAL yes baseUpdateSysConfig /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager KDM_GREETSTRING "Look_busy._They_are_watching." So our OEM images are as we want. I will have to ensure that these are the correct values for Leap. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
