New MPE/iX Release Obsolescence Strategy

Chapter 3 System Management

by The Release Delivery Team
Commercial Systems Division

Since the MPE operating system originated, Hewlett-Packard has developed and maintained a number of system accounts that are considered reserved. With the addition of POSIX, this idea is extended to include a number of Hierarchical File System (HFS) directories as well. Each time you perform a system installation or update, the new information added to your system is placed in these reserved structures.

To avoid overwriting your user accounts and directories, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you do not use reserved names. Rename all non-Hewlett-Packard accounts and directories that use any of the reserved names.

The following accounts are currently in use:

    BIND
