Add a User
Slackware has a useradd script for this that you can run from the commandline. However,
you have to add the new user to several specific groups in order for them to use
the programs installed on the machine. It can make for quite a long commandline string you have to type in,
and you can't afford to forget a group . . .
This little script does the tedious stuff for you. The new user will have to log in with the
password you set here, and as a user they will not have access to anything in the
System Tools > Configuration menu.
Add User
Make up a username and password. It will let you know if successful. BTW: if you want to get rid of a
user, open an xterm (as root) and enter userdel name_of_user
The script is written in Python and uses wxGTK. It is called absAdduser.py.
ToDo
-
Nothing I can think of . . .
