Establishing User Security
User access to accounts and groups and account and group files is
controlled by:
* Requiring user passwords.
* Defining user capabilities.
* Defining file access restrictions.
Specify user permissions and restrictions when a user is created or
modified.
Defining User Passwords
The syntax for defining a user password for a new user is:
NEWUSER username[.accountname];HOME=groupname;PASS=password
The syntax for changing a user password for an existing user is:
ALTUSER username[.accountname];PASS=password
The default for user password is no password. Users may define their own
passwords.
Changing User Capabilities
The syntax for changing capabilities of a user is:
ALTUSER username.accountname;CAP=capability,capability...
The defaults for user capabilities are save files (SF), nonshareable
devices (ND), interactive access (IA), and batch access (BA), provided
the account also has them.
Defining User File Access
User access to account and group files is established with account and
group file security, and is not set for individual users.
