User Management

Set Administrator (root) + Password:

It is advisable for all Mageia installations to set a + superuser (Administrator) password, usually called the + root password in Linux. You need to repeat the same + password in the box underneath, to check that the first entry was not + mistyped.

Note

As you type a password into the top box a 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.

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.

Enter a user

Add a User here. A regular user has fewer privileges than the + superuser (root), but enough to use the Internet, + office applications or play games and anything else the average user might + use a computer for.

  • Icon

    Click on this button if you want to change the user's + icon

  • Real Name

    Insert the user's real name into this text box

  • Login Name

    Enter the user login name or let DrakX use a version of the + user's real name. The login name is + case-sensitive.

  • Password

    Type in the user password (remembering the advice in the Note + above).

    Password (again): Retype the + user password. DrakX will check that you have not mistyped the + password.

Note

Any users added while installing Mageia, will have a home + directory that is both read and write protected (umask=0027)

You can add any extra needed users in the Configuration + - Summary step during the install. Choose User + management.

The access permissions can also be changed after the + install.

User Management (advanced)

The Advanced option allows you to edit further + settings for the user you are adding.

  • Shell: This drop-down list allows you to + change the shell available to any user you added in the previous + screen. Options are Bash, Dash + and Sh

  • User ID: Here you can set the user ID for + any user you added in the previous screen. If you are unsure what the + purpose of this is, then leave it blank.

  • Group ID: This lets you set the group ID. + Again, if unsure, leave it blank.
