sysadmin tools
previously, under Unity, i administered my system with the GUI tools it had. during the change to Xfce i failed to think about those tools. how can i run them now, with all users transitioned to Xfce, Xubuntu style? i am looking for something to click on, not type in. i need to create a new user. i know how to by editing /etc/passwd an a few other files. but i don't want to do it that way, anymore (32 years ago i would have without hesitation). i tried to revert a not-much-used userid back to Unity, but that didn't work. any better ideas?

Re: sysadmin tools
The package "gnome-system-tools" includes admin tools to manage users, networks, shares and time.

Re: sysadmin tools
It comes with 4 executables:
- users-admin
- network-admin
- time-admin
- shares-admin
On Xubuntu 18.04, they are located in the Settings Manager (or Settings Menu category) as:
- Users and Groups
- Network
- Time and Date
The shares one is missing a desktop file on my system, but I don't have samba installed.
