Does anyone know if I wanted to see all the options etc where would I see all that if created newuser through SAM?

Thanks,

Its probably in a doc somewhere, but you could go through the steps to create a user in SAM without doing the OK at the end, or even create a dummy user and delete it afterwards. While doing that look at the Actions menu & click whatever buttons are around!

An alternate way would be to create the user on the command line, see "man adduser" for all the options that has, should be more or less the same options available in SAM.

hope that helps,
Kevin.

I am sorry I guess I did not explain what I needed a help on.
I already created new user using SAM.
Now is there a way to see a logfile where I can see all the info. (which should be simialar to if I was creating new user on command)
Basiclaly curious to find out the file name
where all the info is kept by SAM.
for example my automaitc backup info is in var/sam/log file where is newuser info kept.

Thanks gain.

Cathy,
You are right. They are logged in /var/sam/log/samlog. Open that and see for yourself.

HTH,
