I was attempting to add users via the post-install config, but the users never could log in? The screen fields were: login id, uid, group, full name, member group, and so on. could you explain these functions and why they would not allow the users to log in. 2. How exactly do you eliminate using root as the log in? Again I attempted to change this practice but onbly suceeded in changing the login passwd for root but not root. Or can you change the namr for root? Thanks for any assistance here, Davidj P.S. rookie sys Admin.
