Quassel IRC

h1. Manage core users

h2. Versions >= 0.5:

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 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.  So for adding a user the example would be

> <pre> sudo quasselcore --configdir=/var/cache/quassel --add-user </pre>   

h2. Versions prior to 0.5:
