LKP System Management

User management

You can add, delete or modify a user login using the UnixWare 7 SCOadmin Account Manager. See ``Administering user accounts''. Alternatively, you can use the useradd(1M), userdel(1M), or usermod(1M), command from the command line in either UNIX or Linux mode.

When setting up a new user account, you might also want to configure their PATH and their desktop. See ``Configuring a PATH variable'' and ``Preparing to use KDE2''.

Specifying a default mode

If you have users who work primarily in the LKP environment, you can set their default login shell as the Linux bash shell, /linux/bin/bash. This puts the user in Linux mode whenever they login.

You can set the default user login shell by using the UnixWare 7 SCOadmin Account Manager (see ``Changing user login shells'') and typing /linux/bin/bash as the default shell type. Alternatively, you can use the usermod command from the command line in either UNIX or Linux mode. See usermod(1M).
