adding user to Gnome/Slackware8

[Okie]

i have slackware8 installed on a box, with Gnome 1.4 as the default GUI and KDE is not installed, i looked in the control center, and read the Gnome help files and could not find any reference to adding a normal user account without root access...

so my question is: where do i add a normal user with logon name & password? i also looked in the configuration from the Gnome logon dialog GUI which lets me change the some settings but no place to add a user (unless i missed it)...

I don't know if there are any GUI configuration tools for gnome but you can just open up an xterm, or drop down to the command line and issue a
'adduser'

that will ask you a bunch of questions regarding the user account that you want to create, and then it will go ahead and create it for you.

just open up a terminal, su to root and type adduser. Then just fill in the blanks... :)
