[newbie] Users and permissions

[jason . a2 . greene]

I've got my server set up. Now I want to be able to log in with 
something other than root.

I'm running Slackware 7.0 and KDE. I went to the user manager in KDE and 
setup a user but I cannot log in with that account.


Am I missing something?  Does anyone know of any good/detailed info docs 
online that will help me set this up

OR can someone help me out?

Thanks.

Regards, 
Jason
