8.5. Managing FreeNX Users

Problem

You want to know how to list, add, and delete FreeNX users.

Solution

Use these commands, as root, to list, add, or delete users. We'll use our favorite user pinball to demonstrate in these examples:

	# /usr/bin/nxserver --listuser
	# /usr/bin/nxserver --adduser pinball
	# /usr/bin/nxserver --deluser pinball

You can change users' passwords, and users can change their own passwords with the --passwd option:

	# /usr/bin/nxserver --passwd pinball

Discussion

Remember, FreeNX users must first be Linux users—they must have accounts to log in to.
