As fas as I know, the error message "adduser: Only one or two names allowed." means that you provided more than two non-option arguments to adduser; it has nothing to do with the number of users on your system. What is the exact command that you used? A simple "adduser guest" should do the trick. As far as the graphical log-in is concerned, try /etc/init.d/kdm start or /etc/init.d/kdm restart -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
