When creating a username and secret password, a new userID is also created: bsd-username. This
additional username and password is automatically created on all systems, but is applicable to the
Automations features SmartScripts and HyperLink (still in Beta phase).
When you create a username and secret password (for example, username qsmythe secret q12lmo),
the system creates bsd-username qsmyth secret random-password. The random password is
assigned by the system for BSD shell access for the automation features. When you show your
configuration, both passwords appear.

When you save the configuration, and reload the system, both new passwords are applied to the
configuration. If you downgrade to a release prior to FTOS 8.3.3.4, the BSD username and password
are removed from the configuration.
The BSD username is created when you enter a new username in the CLI. It is not created from a pre-
existing username. Following an upgrade to FTOS 8.3.3.3, you must enter a new (or re-enter the old)
username and password to get the BSD username.
