Wayne: I don't want to seem as rude or ungrateful, but I don't find SuSE-Linux-e to be slow to respond to someone's problem. I did, however, find that some other distribution mailing lists were a tad slower, but nonetheless, very efficient. I want to thank you for giving us this information about the gazette, because there ARE times, when i want it NOW. heehee. So, knowing about the journal will be of huge help in those times. ttfn -- Linux RULES, windoze Drools ;p~~ -- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

That good because redhat 5.0 is a big pain in the butt with there glibc. Every time I tried to apply one of there fixes another problem developed.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Default users under Suse??
by zentara＠mindspring.com 18 Feb '98

18 Feb '98

Hi, I was looking at the users that were set up as default under Suse. Who is Games and Knat, are they essential? I also noticed that they have no passwords set. Should I set passwords for all users who don't have a password? I tried to use Yast to remove Games, Empress, and Postgres. It asked me if I wanted to delete all files associated with these users, I dumbly said yes, and Yast stopped working afterwards. I had to do a quick reinstall. What is the deal with these users? Which ones are absolutely essential? And what are the security risks of not assigning a password to them? The O'reilly System's Administrator Guide dos'nt mention Games as a default installation user. I know this is a "packed question" so please at least tell me which ones Suse absolutely needs.
