Vampire,
I've never used tiny login either and can't really offer any advice i just knew I'd seen something similar before.

Ok, no problem.

Thanks for the interest. Smile

Tinylogin already exists in Puppy.

I think what you would have to do is add the user nx.

To do this create a directory named 'home' in the top directory:

in a console type,

mkdir /home

then run.

adduser nx

type in a pasword, you will not see the password echoed back to the terminal, hit enter and type it again and hit enter.

This will give you the user nx.

To remove a user, type,

deluser 'the user name'

hit enter.

3.01 with not much added

HaryWill, try.

find / -name tinylogin

you should get

/bin/tinylogin

If you are trying to add a user try the steps that I have detailed above.

Its not me trying add a user, I'm just being argumentative about the location of tinylogin.

Sorry men, I have been working in 2.17.1.

Just booted up 3.0 and find there is no tiny login or adduser.

I would go back to 2.17.1 and see what success you have.
