Creating Special Accounts with linuxconf

Normal accounts are regular login shell accounts that you can log in to at the console or remote login, if available. You can also use linuxconf to create special accounts. The linuxconf application allows you to set up special accounts that have limited privileges such as PPP accounts for dial-in access or POP accounts for email. To create special accounts, go to the Config tab under linuxconf and select Users Accounts, Special Accounts.
