Managing PC Users For PC users to access shared discs, the network must be running. In the MPE iX environment, all Resource Sharing PC users run under a single common session. The common session is established the first time a connection is made by a PC user. When a PC user connects, the system console displays a message like this: :2:54/60/Common Session Connect:JOEBOB Product:RESSHR PIN:43 When a PC user disconnects (when that PC's last connection is disconnected), the console displays a message like this: :2:56/60/Common Session Disconnect:JOEBOB Product:RESSHR PIN:43 During normal operations, individual PC users connect to and disconnect from the common session without requiring any help from the system administrator. When you need to stop a PC user's session--or to stop all PC sessions--follow the procedures for aborting sessions.
NOTE It is recommended that PC users disconnect all connections via the PC network software commands.
Aborting Sessions To abort one PC user's session: 1. At the MPE prompt, type: SHOWPCUSER 2. Find the user's PIN (Process Identification Number). 3. At the MPE prompt, type: ABORTPCUSER {userPIN#} SHOWPCUSER and ABORTPCUSER are UDCs located in the RSUDC.PPC.SYS file, which is activated when Resource Sharing is installed. If the UDCs aren't activated, you can still issue these commands from inside Resource Sharing's diagnostic interface. First run PPCDIAGC (see "Commands" discussion in Chapter 7). At the prompt, type SHOWPCUSER RESSHR. Find the user's PIN, then type ABORTPCUSER RESSHR{userPIN#}. Here's what this procedure looks like on the screen: :SHOWPCUSER Common Session Information Common session = MPE iX session RESSHR : #S25 Common session PIN: 35 PC Users for Resource Sharing ---------------------------------------------------- Number of PC users currently under this session: 3 Workstn Name PIN IP Address Connection Date and Time ------------ --- --------------- ------------------------ JOEBOB 43 192.025.229.035 WED, MAY 16, 1990 8:05AM DICKTRACY 28 192.025.229.106 WED, MAY 16, 1990 9:20AM SAMSPADE 80 192.025.229.007 WED, MAY 16, 1990 2:30PM :ABORTPCUSER 43 To abort all PC users' sessions: 1. At the MPE prompt, type: SHOWJOB 2. Find the session number for the job named RESSHR.PCUSER.SYS (or another account and group if you have changed the default), then type: ABORTJOB {RESSHRsession#} Resource Sharing Logon The default logon for the Resource Sharing common session is: Session Name = RESSHR User = PCUSER Account = SYS Group = PPC If necessary, you can change the default user, account, group, and/or session name. When deciding if you need to change where the Resource Sharing session logs on, be aware that the user PCUSER does not have any capability to bypass HP 3000 security. PC users connected to the Resource Sharing session cannot find out passwords or issue MPE commands through that session, even though it may be logged on in the SYS account. Logon UDCs for the PCUSER.SYS user are not supported. If you put passwords on the account, group, or user, you must add them to the Resource Sharing logon. If you do not, no PC users will be able to make connections to the HP 3000. No special capabilities beyond the MPE default capabilities need to be given to the Resource Sharing session accounting structure. However, if any users need shared discs on nonsystem volume sets, the Resource Sharing logon user also needs UV capability. If you need to change the execution priority of Resource Sharing, you can add ;PRI=??, where ?? is CS, DS, or ES. See "Altering Execution Priority" in Chapter 5. To change the default logon, including passwords, use the Configuration function of the Resource Manager Utility (RESMGR). See "Changing the Resource Sharing Logon" in Chapter 10.
