NOTE: Changing User IDs of Existing Users
File ownership is bound to the user ID, not to the user name. After a user ID
change, the les in the user's home directory are automatically adjusted to reect
this change. However, after an ID change, the user no longer owns the les he
created elsewhere in the le system unless the le ownership for those les are
manually modied.
In the following, learn how to set up default user accounts. For some further options,
such as auto login, login without password, setting up encrypted home directories
or managing quotas for users and groups, refer to Section 10.3, “Additional Options
for User Accounts” (page 136).
Procedure 10.1: Adding or Modifying User Accounts
1 Open the YaST User and Group Administration dialog and click the Users tab.
2 With Set Filter dene the set of users you want to manage. The dialog shows
a list of users in the system and the groups the users belong to.
3 To modify options for an existing user, select an entry and click Edit.
To create a new user account, click Add.
4 Enter the appropriate user data on the rst tab, such as Username (which is
used for login) and Password. This data is sucient to create a new user. If
you click OK now, the system will automatically assign a user ID and set all
other values according to the default.
5 Activate Receive System Mail if you want any kind of system notications to
be delivered to this user's mailbox. This creates a mail alias for root and the
user can read the system mail without having to rst log in as root.
6 If you want to adjust further details such as the user ID or the path to the user's
home directory, do so on the Details tab.
If you need to relocate the home directory of an existing user, enter the path
to the new home directory there and move the contents of the current home
directory with Move to New Location. Otherwise, a new home directory is
created without any of the existing data.
7 To force users to regularly change their password or set other password op-
tions, switch to Password Settings and adjust the options. For more details,
refer to Section 10.3.2, “Enforcing Password Policies” (page 137).
8 If all options are set according to your wishes, click OK.
9 Click Expert Options > Write Changes Now to save all changes without exiting
the User and Group Administration dialog. Click OK to close the administration
