Gui for manage users easly

SilvioTO · 2008-06-08 08:19:36

Hi all! I come from ubuntu, and use gnome on arch. I need a simple gui to manage/add users and group. Someone help me? Thanks in advance.

hm...I don't know of any GUI user management. I'll write a quick bash script to make it easier in the command line and post back sometime tomorrow : )

stythys there already is a script called adduser

Dont know of any gui ones either. you can try the arch way til you find one.
its pretty easy with "gpasswd -a group user" to add a user to a group and adduser to make a new user and userdel to remove a user.

There is the gnome-system-tools package from [community]. One of the tools does user and group administration and is also what Ubuntu provides as a default, or did when I was using it. The functionality of the other tools that come with the package is a bit mixed - I'm not sure how well they understand the Arch way of configuring stuff. Oh, and do read the comments for the package in AUR, especially the ones about adding gksu/gksudo to the menu entries.

I tryed webmin and user management section is very easy to use. Gnome sistem tools... great! I installed it, but how to use a particular tool (for example user management) and view all tools available? Thanks!

The gnome system tools all appear as menu entries under System -> Administration. There are tools for users, network, services, shares and time. As I wrote before, they don't all work on Arch.

There's also kuser in kdeadmin package.

Ok, thanks to all... This is a great community. I installed gnome-system-tool too, and playng around.

You may want to look at larch.

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/larch/larch5.3/i686

The program luser is a simple pyGTK program for working with users/groups. It's pretty light, but it should be useful for adding/editing users and passwords.

i would also recommend to check out the wiki for help in adduser and gpasswd.
it in not necessary to do everything through the terminal but i think that it is nice at least to know how things work. after all that is the arch way

cheers

Just instaled the gnome-system-tools, but i cannot change nothing in users and groups...

I use "gksudo users-admin" and i cannot change nothing

i dont know of any GUI's but adding users is very easy with the terminal

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User_Management

just run the command adduser as root, it will ask you questions and you answer (very easy)

gradgrind · 2009-02-18 08:57:41

adduser is pretty easy, and I can also manage useradd, gpasswd and so on, but as it's something I don't do very often, I forget the syntax of the latter and always have to read the manpage again. That's why I wrote 'luser' - for those occasional situations where you just quickly want to add/remove a user or add/remove a user to/from a group or whatever - and without the bulk of webmin, etc.. Try it, I'm biased but I find it pretty nifty. Just get the package from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/larch/larch5.3/i686 and install it with pacman -U.
