I am open minded for new things - even for cockpit. But I need to get used to it.
Could you please give me more information what you mean with your quote above (/etc/passwd). What are the keywords I have to search for? Because probably i’ll find a short tutorial for that.
edit:
Do you mean I should use " chown username:username /home/username -R." which I found in LEAP-16.0 RC - post install user accounts menu without YaST - #4 by oldcpu ?
