How do I add users in debian? Can I do it from within KDE?


Hi

I started using linux about 4 weeks ago. I'm using Debian. I'm currently running linux as root. I know it's very folish to do so and therefore I need to know how to add a user to my system. Can I do it from within KDE?

Take a look at the useradd and adduser commands. If you want to do it from a GUI, then install the kdeadim package and then run the "kuser" app.
