In short, this means multiple users can be logged into the computer at the same time. Three distinct groups, <emphasis>normal user</emphasis>, <emphasis>system user</emphasis> and administrative accounts exist on your Fedora system. By default, your account is created as a <emphasis>normal user</emphasis> account. Normal users have permission to run a desktop and related desktop applications. System users have permission to programs running in the background, often with elevated privileges, that help maintain your computer system. One example of a system account is the Xscreensaver program. </para> <warning> <title>Modify Default Login Procedure with Xscreensaver.</title> <para> The Fedora login process is regulated by a system user called <emphasis role='strong'>Xscreensaver</emphasis>. Xscreensaver secures your desktop when it is unattended and can be configured by accessing the following menu options: <emphasis>System > Preferences > Screensaver</emphasis>. </para> </warning> <para> Administrative accounts are accounts with elevated privileges, such as the <emphasis>root</emphasis> account, that enable the user to perform tasks to alter the behavior and ability of other users on the computer system. The <emphasis>root</emphasis> user is considered the "ultimate" administrative account as it has domain over the entire machine. For more information about these different levels, permissions, and user provisioning, please refer to the <ulink url='http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide'>Fedora Administration Guide</ulink>. </para> <warning> <title>Day-to-day tasks do not require root level access.</title> <para> Do not log into your desktop as root, as it is potentially dangerous. When the need arises to perform maintenance duties such as installing software, removing software, or updating the system, the tool can be run as the root user. This is done in this guide with the command form <code>su -c 'command-to-be-run-as-root'</code>. Programs that require root privileges will to prompt you for the root password before the program starts. </para> </warning> </section> <section id="sn-cannot-login"> <title>I Cannot Login: HELP!</title> <para> Recovering or replacing a password for a user account is not hard, but it is beyond the scope of this guide.
