KUser In Slackware64-current Plasma 5 - KDE 5

One part of systems administration is adding, removing and modifying groups and users. These tasks can be accomplished via a terminal session using the following commands:

Adding a group: groupadd groupname
Adding a user: useradd username
Adding a user to a group: usermod -aG groupname username

More information on how to add, remove and modify groups and users can be found here: https://www.tecmint.com/delete-remove-a-user-account-with-home-directory-in-linux/

In Slackware, I used KUser until KDE 4. KUser allowed me to manage groups and users graphically. KDE 5 does not have KUser installed. I downloaded KUser from Slackware-current, copied three libraries needed by KUser to run (libkabc.so.4.14.38, libkldap.so.4.14.38 and libkresources.so.4.14.38) and created symbolic links. All libraries have to be in /usr/lib64

The dynamic links I created were:

libkabc.so.4 as a symbolic link to libkabc.so.4.14.38
libkabc.so as a symbolic link to libkabc.so.4
libkldap.so.4 as a symbolic link to libkldap.so.4.14.38
libkldap.so as a symbolic link to libkldap.so.4
libkresources.so.4 as a symbolic link to libkresources.so.4.14.38
libkresources.so as a symbolic link to libkresources.so.4
