Tripp-fan Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I need to know how to make a user name in -s mode. For some reason everytime i try to make a root password by typing in passwd it says something about the 'root' user name doing something. It wont let me input it so i just need to make a user for it.
