Is there another way to create users with passwords? I have tried add users via the gnome user add app and the kde user too, kde seems to add but the user is not visible on the intro screen. the gnome does add the user but will not accept any passwords, it changes them to 8 carachter words and even then, when I use an eight carachter password, does not accept it.
Any help please?
