To create a new user, i either did it in the terminal, or in the gui. Ive done it before, so i know im doing it right. I tryed running system config authentication, but i dont understand which settings to change.
Was browsing arnd and saw some posts about the UID should not be less than a pariticular number...Well 501 is really fine... But do you know what this minimum UID should be ??? (I dont know where this value is set !!!)
Hmm, that was the default. But the weird thing is.. is that it did work before. So i dont think it would be the UID. I was actually browsing around earlier for something like that haha .
Well im going to sleep, its 430 in the morning over here. Ive been up all night screwing with this thing haha. Hopefully in a few hours ill be up trying again. Thx for you time. Let me know if you have any ideas anyone faheja@gmail.com
Ok one more thing...Iam not on a Red Hat Machine now....but in the start menu isnt there a tab called authentication ?? I am not sure exactly where ?? Maybe in system or something like that...Maybe you could try tweaking that and see what happens !!!
