quasselcore provides two command-line options:
* --add-user
>Starts an interactive session to add a new core user
* --change-userpass=[USERNAME]
>Starts an interactive session to change the password of the user identified by username
*Note for Ubuntu (10.10 and lower) and Debian users*
If you install quasselcore via the default Ubuntu (or Debian) package then your config dir is in '/var/cache/quassel'.
This means that you need to run quasselcore --add-user with --configdir=/var/cache/quassel and with permissions such that it can access that directory. Usually this means running it with sudo for Ubuntu or as root for Debian. So for adding a user the example would be
> <pre> sudo quasselcore --configdir=/var/cache/quassel --add-user </pre>
*Note for Ubuntu 11.04 Users*
If you install quasselcore via the default Ubuntu 11.04 package the config directory is now in '/var/lib/quassel'.
This means that you need to run quasselcore --add-user with --configdir=/var/lib/quassel and with permissions such that it can access that directory. Usually this means running it with sudo. So for adding a user the example would be
> <pre> sudo quasselcore --configdir=/var/lib/quassel --add-user </pre>
*Note for openSUSE Users*
If you install quasselcore via the openSUSE package (at least from the KDE:Extra repositories), the config directory is in '/var/lib/quasselcore'.
This means that you need to run quasselcore --add-user with --configdir=/var/lib/quasselcore and with permissions such that it can access that directory. Usually this means running it as root or with sudo. So for adding a user the example would be
> <pre> sudo quasselcore --configdir=/var/lib/quasselcore --add-user </pre>
and for changing an user's password:
> <pre> quasselcore --change-userpass=someusername --configdir=/var/lib/quasselcore </pre>
(run as root)
