OOO, I like this cheat code!!!

Klaus, are you listening?

If you are,

TIA,

If anyone else would also be interested in the above mentioned cheatcodes, leave a post here so we can gauge the interest level and perhaps Klaus would implement it in the next release. (I certainly hope so as it would be a very useful feature

... Anyway, if you would like, feel free to suggest to Klaus about including something like this, I imagine he might write a script that might be a little bit better than the one I put together

true1ever, I tried your script and it worked just perfect. How could it be better?

Who knows, perhaps Klaus could reduce it all to a one-line script

, I wouldn't be surprised...

Does Klaus read this forum too?

Now and then. I saw a post by him two days ago, when I checked his acount he had 7 posts.

You could sign up for this mailinglist he is running and bring it to his attention.

**A. Jorge Garcia** · 04-06-2003, 02:21 PM

Yup, I saw he had a few recent posts, but is that really him?

BTW, what mailing list are you referring to?

Rock,

You were correct, if the files in the user home directory are deleted, the language comes up right. I modified the script to do this automatically for all added users. Here is the new script:

#!/bin/bash
cp /etc/kde3/kdm/Xaccess /ramdisk
cp /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc /ramdisk
rm -r /etc/kde3/kdm/Xaccess
rm -r /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
sed 's/^#\*/\*/g' < /ramdisk/Xaccess > /ramdisk/Xaccess1
mv -f /ramdisk/Xaccess1 /ramdisk/Xaccess
sed 's/^Enable=false/Enable=true/g' < /ramdisk/kdmrc > /ramdisk/kdmrc1
mv -f /ramdisk/kdmrc1 /ramdisk/kdmrc
ln -s /ramdisk/Xaccess /etc/kde3/kdm/Xaccess
ln -s /ramdisk/kdmrc /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
/etc/init.d/kdm start
cp /etc/gshadow /etc/gshadow1
mv -f /etc/gshadow1 /etc/gshadow
while [ "$usr" != none ]
do
echo To add users enter username or press enter to quit adding users
read usr
if [ "$usr" != "" ]
then
adduser $usr
rm /home/$usr/* -rf
rm /home/$usr/.* -rf
else
usr="none"
fi
done
