    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

    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...

    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.

    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
