Hello.
Zorin Core 7 64 bits is installed in my Asus laptop. Please explain how I can prevent a Guest Logging in and how to prevent Remote Logging in. Thank you in advance. Ron

Hi,

install the package "gnome-system-tools" via a terminal and you can use it to manage your user accounts, you will find it in the Main Menu > System Settings > Administration > Users & Groups:

Code:: sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools

Hello. Unfortunately after installing gnome-system-tools I can only see one user, myself. Pushing the advanced button only allows me to further change my own data.

Thank you swarfendor437 very much. Now Guests cannot login to my system any more. When I find a way to prevent Remote Login I will be content because security will be better still.

Hi all,

I merged both threads together and marked as solved!. (Sorry that I didn't even notice the part about "Remote Login" as I wasn't paying attention as usual!)
