If you click on User Profile from the User Home page, you are offered a submenu with several different operations you can perform on your own user account. The following sec-tions describe each of the available operations.
The General Settings screen allows you to change your personal information. The NetWinder stores some of this information (such as the password) to help in authentication, and the other fields are for optional information. Your full name, phone number and comment is displayed to other users when they visit the User Directory page.
NOTE: If you are administrative user, httpd, you cannot edit your user profile from this screen. Instead, you need to visit the User Accounts page in administration mode.
Be sure to change your password to improve security!
The personal information settings page looks like this:
The options work as follows:
User name. This is your NetWinder login name, such as ffiddle. It is also used as your e-mail address. You can't change it; only the administrator can. (In fact, the administrator will need to remove and re-create your account with a different name, but the overall effect is the same.)
Full name. This is your real-life full name, such as Fred Fiddle.
Phone number. This is the phone number that people can use to reach you. You can leave it blank if you prefer.
Comment. You can say something here. Or not. It doesn't really matter. But it will show up when other users see you in the User Directory.
Password. You can change your password by typing the new one here. You won't be able to see it as you type it, so you must enter it again on the (confirm) line to make sure you got it right.
Disk usage. This shows you how much disk space you're using, and your maximum disk space allotment if a maximum has been assigned to you.
When you have finished making your changes, click the Save button to make them permanent.
