15.6 A Brand New You 199
Figure 15.9: The Users accounts in Linuxconf
Tip: Everyone’s account belongs to at least one group. Groups are used to determine
file access permissions. Unless you specify a group, the default group for your user
account will be the login name you choose (for example, a group called billy).
When you’re finished, your entries should look like the following:
Login name.........billy
Full name..........Bilbo Baggins
group (opt)........billy
Now, just click on the button marked Accept.
We’re almost finished. Next, we’ve got to come up with a password.
Passwords are one of the best methods to safeguard against prying eyes or malicious behavior. If
you’ve got a secure password, which only you know, you’ve taken a big step in your system’ssecu-
rity.
