How to add users

#1 Post by nirupama »

hello all

I want to add users in my debian distro.I know that we can either use adduser or useradd to create users.But I want to add user and that should be visible as an icon as I logout and login.As you might be knowing about the lsb packages.when we just install the packages related to lsb it automatically adds users like vsx0,1,2 in the list.So when I logout and login I can see the user icons.

may I know how can I do that.Do I need to modify the configuration file.If yes How can I do that?I sit something dealing with /etc/adduser.cfg.


awaiting for reply

regards

Just use adduser. On my system with KDM at least it automatically displayed it (as long as it's not a system user.)
