When I look for some system tool I usually have to search for it because it is now always obvious where it is supposed to be. Cheers, Valent.

I wrote for my own use a little python scripts that creates alls users, groups and smb shares. It would be great, if your new tool support this.

Is not "user name" better? For me, that has been using Unix-based system for over 20 years, that is far more easy to understand. Although, I have to admit that "login name" is better than "short name". I would never have known what "short name" was used for, if I saw it on "create a new user account" screen. So, as the dialog says "user account", "User name" would also be the logical choice. /Lars -- Lars E.

One of the better things with Linux/Unix/etc. is the differentiation between "normal" users and the administrator, i.e. the root account. But I may be missing something obvious here? /Lars -- Lars E.
