how to use users-admin remotely on Ubuntu
Lately I had the necessity to create an account and modify another one on an Ubuntu box at work. I've regularly logged on via a ssh -X shell and gave the command sudo users-admin resulting in a "blocked" window ... I mean one on which I wasn't able to unlock the command via an administrative password input.
After a little diggin' on the web I found that the solution is in giving this command:
sudo ck-launch-session users-admin &
which will ask you the administrative password and make the commands on the appearing window
