Please add fields to set and change user and group IDs - they are
important especially in an enterprise environment.
I think this tool is meant especially for not enterprisey environments,
for such you can use s-c-users if you want a native GUI which lets you
set them.
Am I right, that the "Login options" are not user specific?
(No user is
selected.) So please separate it from the users list and move it below
the "Add"- and "Remove"-user buttons. Then it is more clear that you
can
not add and remove "Login options", but something in the list. BTW: I
think it would be nice to give the list a description.
If you do not like the word "login", then you could use these two: "User
Name" and "Full Name".
Sounds good to me.
