hi,
What are the files will get updated when user changes the password
Ben ( 21 Oct 2011, 07:49)
Adding a user for learning as Bob suggests is a great idea. That said,
please ensure you're the only user on the system. Having an 'open' user
account with an easily guessed password is considered bad form. Although,
if the open user is merely a plain user no real problems should occur. Do
not however, use an easily guessed password for your root user. The root
user is your computer's administration user. It controls the system. If
you're connected to a network, having an unsecured root user, could prove
tragic. Linux is really secure and powerful. The great benefit of power
does incur a fee, responsibility. If you're coming from Windows be aware of
this.

Mail clients such as outlook express or evolution mail or thunderbird can
be configured to have more than two mail accounts, ie. connect to more than
one mail server. However, the problem with outlook express is that it
supports connection to one exchange server only. So since you have an
exchange server for LAN and linux-based mail server for external mailing,
go ahead and setup another account with the mail client and giving the
correct details of SMTP, IMAP/POP server and TLS/SSL details. A single
mail client will be able to service both the mail boxes.

Or sudo if you need root/superuser privileges in Ubuntu.
nhoel ( 07 Apr 2011, 03:02)
just type
su -
then it will ask you, your root password. just type your rootpasswd and
there you are..

In fact, not ten, but nine keystrokes are enough to hose a system (as
Root): # rm -Rf /(Enter)

Shikhin
Try using the command
useradd -m UserName
to create a new user
you can change the password by the process mentioned by Bob
for more about adding user try - man useradd

Hi Bob,
I am 12 and have a Linux SUSE 11 on my laptop. Well when I log into root
and try make a new user using adduser command it says that no such command
exists. Further more, I cannot even open a virtual console. What am I doing
wrong?

i've never seen any websites out there that give linux lessons more basic
than this. he even teach us history. what kind of more basic information
are you looking for?
Mallikarjun ( 27 Apr 2010, 06:17)
Nice Website but we want basic information first
I welcome your comments. However... I am puzzled by many people
who say "Please send me the Linux tutorial." This website *is* your Linux Tutorial! Read everything here, learn
all you can, ask questions if you like. But don't ask me to send what you already have. :-)
