Hi DJ,
I'm using Debian-LXDE and Debian-Scorpio both testing. The PCL-LXDE
has a User Admin GUI on the menu. That's the package I was looking for.
Quite easy to do with that GUI.
thanks for the response.

size, way too big.

Regarding gnome-system-tools I used apt-get with --no-install-recommends, otherwise it wanted to pull in Gnome Control Center - BIG! In a terminal just enter "apt-get install --no-install-recommends gnome-system-tools" and it should be just a small download. That gives you the "Users and Groups" entry in Preferences.
I am currently doing an update on Villagebox on the test rig and will then try out a couple of these package installs again in a controlled environment. Currently I'm just hacking up my main system :o I have also got hold of both the antixcc.py and the .deb packages. Looks like a lot of hacking needed to get it to work with our configuration - OB and sakura/xterm. The .deb won't install due to dependency issues (terminal, editor etc) but the .py can be made to run with the addition of gtkdialog. All heading too much in the gtk direction I fear - I wonder how it will fit in with gtk3 down the track. Somebody started a Debian-Control-Center in python a few years back but it died on the vine and all links are dead - pity.

Started running low on Dropbox space and had to dump some things. I'll get it sorted out. I'm working on the control center now.

I first installed this on Melodie's antiX respin. Had a helluva time with antiX repos and signing key. Dave's server got hacked by some guy claiming to be part of anonymous. Anyway, I've got all the pieces collected and I'm porting it to DebLXDE. The original looks like this:

Finally got a clean and updated VillageBox! I then did "apt-get install --no-recommends gnome-system-tools" which downloaded about 7mb that occupied 17mb of disk. In the Preferences section of the root menu four new entries appeared -
* Network
* Services
* Time and Date
* Users and Groups"Network" allows configuration of your DNS and other things; "Services" allows to turn on or off system services as you wish; "Time and Date" allows you to change your time zone and time keeping method; and "Users and Groups" allows you to add or delete users and/or groups.
Combined with these are other installed GUI tools for adjusting your system settings -
* Wicd - network management
* Gigolo - LAN networking
* Gparted - partition management
* Htop - system processes
* Hardinfo - system and hardware tool
* LXappearance - gtk2 theme and icon handler
* Obconf - Openbox themes, appearance and layout
* Thunar-volman settings - sets parameters for all external devices
* LXrandr - monitor settings
* Tint2conf - configure tint2 panel
* Keeptalking - language and locale
All-in-all that covers a fair amount. I guess it might be nice to combine all of it under one umbrella - either as a "control-center" or a single category. If the later then using the root menu would be the easiest method as it doesn't mean futzing around with all the .desktop files.
Just as an aside, I will post the updated VillageBox soon - it has all the software listed above plus Geany has been replaced with Juffed - much faster. I just need to establish if extra firmware for wireless internet needs to be added.

Took about 19 MB of space. Even uses a GTK 3 theme.
The userdrake rpm at PCL should be adequate for a little Openbox if made into
a deb package. Just for User Admin. gnome-system-tools for a big OpenBox
then.
thanks for the response.
