Don't know I have personal. Most likely it's in the general linux section in the beginning. Probably right after installation, since the next step is to create a user. But the handy dandy Yast2 will do it for you. It's under security > users add new user. and presto home directory is made and all sorts of configuration's are done. -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.1.

hmm, down-under dude. here's the easy way to create a user in reverse polish notation: ; ; open xterm man useradd sudo useradd <your options here> note: most common example: sudo useradd -g users -m -s /bin/bash [-d /home/hentrix] [-G puppleNbrown] -c 'Puple Haze' jimmy DO NOT FORGET THE -m you have been warned. other than that, gui stuff, yeah, there are 15-16 ways to create a user with a gui, but heh, you don't want a gui. you want prompt. cuz there is no massive user management in 90% of unix user management guis (Irix excluded) blah, it's 5am in the morning, enough patronizing for a day
