Package: gdm Version: 2.18.2-1 Severity: wishlist The login screen seems like a natural point for a user to think about user accounts, or for someone to realize they need an account and ask an administrator for help. gdm could optionally have an "Add User" button, which would prompt for all the necessary information to add a user, then request the root password, and invoke adduser. The screen requesting the root password should display a summary of all the information about the user to add.
