how can i view what users are on my linux machine

and how can i remove the one i do not want anymore

also how can i do this was samba too

actually i made a user with useradd instead of adduser and it didn't not make a password with it but now i can't delete that user i make with useradd and i can not make a user with the same username with adduser cuz it says user allready exists

soo how do i remove the user so i can recreat it with adduser so i can make a password for the user

Just give it a password if you are going to keep the user. Use the command:

passwd username

And remember, you have to run passwd as root. That way you will get a password to the user. Or if you are using KDE, just navigate to user groups and delete them there.

Peace!
