userdrake
This tool
You can start this tool from the command line, by typing userdrake as root.
is found under the System tab in the Mageia Control Center labelled
"Manage users on system"
The tool allows an administrator to manage the users and the groups, this
means to add or delete a user or group and to modify user and group settings
(ID, shell, ...)
When userdrake is opened, all the users existing on the system are listed in
the Users tab, and all the groups in the
Groups tab. Both tabs operate the same way.
1 Add User
Este botón abre una ventana nueva con todos los campos vacíos:
The field Full Name is intended for the
entry of a family name and first name, but it is possible to write anything
or nothing as well!
Login is the only required field.
Setting a Password is highly
recommended. There is a little shield on the right, if it is red, the
password is weak, too short or is too similar to the login name. You should
use figures, lower and upper case characters, punctuation marks, etc. The
shield will turn orange and then green as the password strength improves.
Confirm Password field is there to ensure
you entered what you intended to.
Login Shell is a drop down list that allows
you to change the shell used by the user you are adding, the options are
Bash, Dash and Sh.
Create a private group for the user, if
checked will automatically create a group with the same name and the new
user as the only member (this may be edited).
The other options should be obvious. The new user is created immediately
after you click on OK.

group ID.
