I want to add a new user account to the Linux system. I used the command 'adduser', gave the necessary parameters such as: User name Password Home directory Shell to use. The account is created because: Home directory exists with the skeleton of files. Entry exists in /etc/passwd Entry exits in /etc/groups etc. I can do 'su <user name>' and it works. i can do 'cd ~<user name> and it works. The account was created as root. But when I try to log in from KDE, the system accepts the user name and password and attempts to start-up the desktop, but fails and returns back to the log in screen. I have also tried to create the account using the graphical front end from Gnome. This gives the same result/problem. Could someone help. Regards. Mungal.
