Yes, the user screen in firstboot is designed for creating one user. Our usability studies have shown that the majority of users create only one account (unless they are using something like NIS, in which case this screen doesn't apply to them), so we made the user screen in firstboot reflect that. If you need to create more user accounts, you can run redhat-config-users after install. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: The firstboot user creation 'wizard' is very limited compared with the user creation screen which was in Anaconda in Red Hat 8.0 (and earlier). (e.g. as far as I know firstboot at the moment is designed only for the creation of only one user, whereas the user manager in Anaconda in RH 8.0 let me make multiple users during install). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Phoebe 2. Checkout the new Firstboot 3. Actual Results: Compared to the old Anaconda the Firstboot user management during/after installation is rather meager. Expected Results: Anaconda's user manager during Anaconda installation session would be nice if that returned. If however RH feels that this part of the installation / tool should not be part of phase 1 of the installation, RH should make Firstboot just as good as Anaconda's earlier user management.
