You will need to use a different name. 'admin' is one of the system
users. You can look at /etc/passwd to see all the users on the system.

hey
i agree to wat u said, but earlier wen i had a gnome desktop i cud do
it by going to users and profiles on the system manager i think
but now i am using the fluxbox and i cudnt find a similiar tool. so my
reasoning was that if it was possible from the gnome then why not in
fluxbox too ?
