I really don't mind seeing a question like this. After all I've been on this list for almost 2 years and I value everyones opinion. I feel like we can forget about the "RULES" for a change and just help each other out. Well for the question if your in X Windows then use Linuxconf. RedHat by default uses GNOME so I believe there is an Administration program that comes with GNOME to do this also. It should be on your start menu. Ooh and you can also do it from the control-panel. Type control-panel at an xterm while in X and the control panel will pop up. There is an applet in it which handles user administration. You can also do it from the command line which I don't know off the top of my head but I believe it is described in the users manual if you bought the Official RedHat. --- Peter Palfrader aka Weasel <palfrader@xxxxxxx.xxx> wrote: > On Wed, Sep 22, 1999 at 07:31:20PM +0200, Emre Yucel > wrote: > > Hi.
