History
Some time ago I downloaded xusermgr written with XForms. This program has a great interface. But on my 800x600 display, it looks very ugly. Some text labels on the buttons get out of bounds, and so on. Of course I am not happy with it. My friend heard it and said : "Why are you angry? If you don't like something, make it better!" I thought he was right and thus wrote this primitive user manager.
UsageKUser is a very simple application. It contains two sections: Users and Groups. There are also three buttons for adding, editing and deleting users and groups. Click Users, you will see the list of the users with their full names. When you double click or press select button, the user preferences dialog will appear. There you can easily modify all properties such as full name, home directory, login shell, etc.
If you are running quota, KUser will automaticaly determine it and you can modify user quotas.
You can also add, edit or delete users using either buttons or menu.
Click Groups and you will get the list of all the groups. You can also add, edit or delete them either by using buttons or menu.
In this version I have added GNU NLS support. And if you want to see all
messages in russian, you may type 'export LANG=ru' at a command line before
you run KUser.Unfortunetly I don't know well French or German. That's why if
you want to see these messages in your own language you should translate
them.It's simple. In po/ directory there's a file called kuser.pot.
Its format is simple:
msgid "English text"
msgstr "Your own language text"
You should write down your translation and send me this file.
I'll include it in the new distribution. I'll be glad if someone will
continue this.
