*Can i change passwords of users?
Yes. Use the "passwd" command.
*Can i create a user that will not go into x windows (just stay in run level 2) with the same permissions as DSL?
Remove "startx" from /home/username/.bash_profile. This is for runlevel 5, which is actually text mode, but with the startx command issued at login it automatically puts you in X. I believe runlevel 2 is single-user mode.
Same permissions as dsl will be difficult since there can be only one user with a given userID, and therefore only one user can have ownership of a file. Closest thing i can think of is to add the new user to the group "staff". You still won't get all of the same permissions on dsl-owned files, but it's close.
*Can I create another user that has root permissions?
Not really. You can add a user to the root group, but you'll have the same situation as above....you don't have unlimited permissions to all root-owned files. There's really no need for this anyway. If you want root power, log in as root.
