I'm trying to follow this tutorial: How to add remove user (standard user/non-root) in Kali Linux?

The last step on page 1 says to logout and then back in as user1 but it doesn't specify how to do that...is there a way, or does he mean to logout of root via desktop and then back in as user1, followed by opening another terminal window...the pictures he shows always show root@kali:~ so that is why I thought they didn't mean to logout via desktop..

Forgot to mention...the only way I can think to do this was to use su user1...but that changes the address at the top of the terminal window to user1@kali:/root....I'm guessing this isn't what the tutorial was advising to do?

To logout from UNIX or Linux you can either:

  1. type exit and press ENTER
  2. on a command line where you haven't typed anything press CTRL-D

to log out.

    my pleasure :) I agree su is not what they had in mind, but it will come in handy later. Check out sudo too for switching users.
