Hi all!
I installed DSL with support for multiusers.
I tried to add a user and login as that user, but it does not work.
What am I missing?
The only user I am able to login with is dsl, haven't tried root though..

Many thanks!

What did you do to add that user
and to log in?

Just tried using that tool and seems to work... though I used su - newuser to test log in.

What kind of installation are you using? (if frugal, did you back up the users/passwords, etc.)
