19 From the online manual for KControl
20 (http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase/kcontrol/control-center-run-indiv.html):
21
22 kcmshell --list
23
24 The KControl module that you want is:
25
26 kcm_useraccount - User information such as password, name and email
27
28 To run separately from KControl:
29
30 kcmshell kcm_useraccount
31
32
33 Now:
34
35 # find /usr/kde -name "*useraccount*" -print
36 /usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/kcm_useraccount.so
37 /usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/kcm_useraccount.la
38 /usr/kde/3.5/share/applications/kde/kcm_useraccount.desktop
39 /usr/kde/3.5/share/config.kcfg/kcm_useraccount.kcfg
40 /usr/kde/3.5/share/config.kcfg/kcm_useraccount_pass.kcfg
41 # equery belongs /usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/kcm_useraccount.so
42 [ Searching for file(s) /usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/kcm_useraccount.so in *... ]
43 kde-base/kdepasswd-3.5.2 (/usr/kde/3.5/lib/kde3/kcm_useraccount.so)
44
45 So kdepasswd is probably what you are looking for.
46
47 Other things to ckeck.
48 You are using kdm.
49 The face paths in /usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/kdmrc are correct.
