<!-- removed para xml:id's, finished the page using Led43's text in the wiki, but
changed his text about the Advanced User Managment screen (the only thing
about guest account there, is the box you can tick or untick to enable or
disable it, the rest is about the normal user you're adding in the previous
screen), marja, 20120409-->
<!-- barjac 2012-04-13 moved explanation of xguest lower down. I don't understand
"rbash" in the xguest warning - is that correct? -->

</info>
<para>It is advisable for all <application>Mageia</application> installations to
set a superuser or administrator's password, usually called the
<emphasis>root password</emphasis> in Linux. As you type a password into the
top box the colour of its shield will change from red to yellow to green
depending on the strength of the password. A green shield shows you are
using a strong password. You need to repeat the same password in the box
just below the first password box, this checks that you have not mistyped
the first password by comparing them.</para>
<note xml:id="givePassword">
<para>All passwords are case sensitive, it is best to use a mixture of letters
(upper and lower case), numbers and other characters in a password.</para>

enough to surf the internet, use office applications or play games and
anything else the average user does with his computer</para>

<note>
<para>Any user you add while installing Mageia, will have a world readable (but
write protected) home directory.</para>
<para>However, while using your new install, any user you add in <emphasis>MCC -
System - Manage users on system</emphasis> will have a home directory that
is both read and write protected.</para>
<para>If you don't want a world readable home directory for anyone, it is advised
to only add a temporary user now and to add the real one(s) after reboot.</para>
<para>If you prefer world readable home directories, you might want to add all
extra needed users in the <emphasis>Configuration - Summary</emphasis> step
during the install. Choose <emphasis>User management</emphasis>.</para>
<para>The access permissions can also be changed after the install.</para>
