I've been through this a couple times now, and I've managed to lock myself out twice. So, now I'm trying to follow instructions carefully. create an unprivileged user
I thought the point here was that I was to log out as root and back in as fred. I get nothing that way:
After the useradd, I go in, and there's nothing in home. That doesn't make sense to me. Oh, and by the way: sudo su is still around in far too many HOWTOs. You do not need su at all, uninstall it. Use sudo -i if you insist on getting an interactive root shell. Use sudo -e somefile to edit a file as root.Okay, copy that.
Is that as easy as rm /usr/bin/suThanks for your explanations and advice.
