Now this is where KDE on SuSE shines.  You just go into the control
panel and use their YAST2 tools from there.  Click on Yast2 modules ->
Security & Users -> Create group or Create user, enter the root password
when prompted and off you go.  Anybody who ever administered a computer,
even the dreaded M$ systems, can do this.
BUT - SuSE really likes KDE and I don't know how well all this works in
Gnome.  

David - why don't you come to the next BLUG meeting and we can
experiment on my laptop.  This time we can mess up my computer.
