      To help me add apps that might be useful for my install of antix19.4core+LXDE, I have Debian10+LXDE installed alongside it as a guide.
      One desktop link in Debian10’s menu, that I would like in antiX is Users&Groups (see 2 screenshots below).
      In Debian it’s located at /usr/bin/ where it’s called user-admin.

      However in antiX, when I look up user-admin in Synaptic, or attempt to install it via the terminal it doesn’t appear to be listed.
      Many thanks for any help with this.

        User and group settings can be found in the controll center.
        In antiX menu there is, at least in bullseye a link to user manager. You could add a menubar button for
        that although for most users it is a rarely needed function.

          For user and group management in antiX, install the antix-user package.

          I will teach you something new.

          In Debian it’s located at /usr/bin/ where it’s called user-admin.

          To discover to what package a command or file belongs to (in Debian based systems), run:
          dpkg -S /usr/bin/user-admin
          You give the name of the file or its full path and it will tell you to what package it belongs to. You can then install said package in antiX if you prefer it to the antix-user.

            Many thanks Xecure 🙂
            I’ve had a look at the antix-user package you suggested, and I think I’ll use this in preference to the Debian version I mentioned.
            It looks very useful, e.g. simplifying the changing of passwords, user names, adding new users, etc.
            Many thanks too for the very useful tip for looking up what package a file belongs to in Debian.

              I’ve previously tried the gui-based antix control-centre, but unfortunately it didn’t work fully in antixcore+LXDE, i.e. many links to apps within the control-centre didn’t work. I think some essential elements that make it function properly in the full or base editions are missing in the core edition, so therefore I would have to identify these elements and download them separately to make the control-centre function. At the time, I didn’t go any further with this, as it seemed a lot of trouble for something I didn’t really need.
