[1] Add a new user account.
[root@localhost ~]#

[root@localhost ~]#
passwd fedora

Changing password for user fedora.
New UNIX password:
# set password

[root@localhost ~]#
# logout

[2] Try to switch to a user that was added above.
localhost login:
fedora
# input user name

[fedora@localhost ~]$
su -
