How To Set Up 2nd User Account? [Solved]

Postby setanta » Sun Sep 30, 2012 16:31

Hi I am new to Sabayon, I want to set up a second user account so other members of the household can use the machine without having to log into my personal account. So far I cant figure this out, I am more accustomed to Gnome based sytems.

Many thanks

Setanta

I find the easier way is to install superadduser and follow the procedure (including ascertaining user groups) given in the example in my post: Re: How to add a new user in Xfce?.
