Adding users? Yep. But you have to be able to log in to use it. If you do not add a user when the system is installed, and root is not able to log in, I would guess that the KDM login would not be very useful.
So, for the uninitiated GUI user, getting to a virtual terminal and logging in is often problematic. I know this from experience with some of our users. Could they learn to use the character login. Of course. They are not stupid. But when we say they must use the character login for something, all we hear is: why did you do all this in Linux? It is the concept that seems to irk them.
Rock and a hard place, I guess.
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 jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
