Question [LINUX] Creating new user accounts
I've had Linux when I was young, on one of our first computers and learned it pretty quickly... However, I've been working on Windows for about 7 years now and just made the switch back to Linux, Mandrake 9.1. So I have some problem with creating new user accounts. I could create one, but once I logged in with that account it gave an error that it couldn't start up KDE3 because that account didn't have reading/writing access to the root directory...

How can I solve this problem?

uml_switch

UML_SWITCH(1)						      General Commands Manual						     UML_SWITCH(1)

NAME

       uml_switch -- switch daemon for user-mode Linux

SYNOPSIS

       uml_switch [-unix control_socket data_socket]  [-hub]  [-tap tun device]  [-compat-v0]  [-daemon]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the uml_switch program.

       This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

       uml_switch is a daemon for managing a virtual network between user-mode Linux systems, with no connection to the host system's network.

       It will listen for connections on a pair of UNIX domain sockets, and forward packets between clients which connect to them.

OPTIONS

       -unix control_socket data_socket
		 Listen on the specified pair of sockets, instead of the defaults.

       -hub	 Act  like  a hub.  This means that packets received will be broadcast over all virtual links.	The default is to act as a switch,
		 where packets are only sent to the link matching the destination MAC address of the packet.

       -tap tap device
		 Connect the switch to a dynamically created tap device on the host

       -compat-v0
		 Specify control protocol version 0 compatibility.

       -daemon	 Run in the background as a daemon.
