How did you setup the Account using the KDE Groups app or using the useradd command ?

try using useradd from the Command prompt this will ask you for GID and set a UID and then go through steps to setup Home dir, shell and password...

useradd is successful unless you received error messages...

you need to make sure the new user is a member of a group (using the GID) with the correct priorities...

actually, i set it up through yast. i've successfully logged onto her account, and kde started up, so i know it was at least partially successful. i didn't know there were seperate steps to ste up home, dir, etc....when i created my main account, it just automatically set everything up, i think. -derek - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
