Hi all
I am about to scream lol!
I can’t seem to log in to my new user.
I have created a new user, given the sudu control - now what?
I log out and when i try to log back in through purtty i cant.
what am i doing wrong?
how do i log in - is it through putty? if so then what is the process - is it add ip address in hostname
Thanks
