HP-UX
The operating system developed by the UNIX Systems Group at Hewlett-
Packard., that provides all the power and reliability of a traditional UNIX
operating system in an easy-to-use, graphical user interface (GUI)
environment.
User login script
A type of login script that sets environments specific to a user. Use user
login scripts to contain items that cannot be included in system or profile
login scripts.
User login scripts are optional; if used, they execute after system and profile
login scripts.
See also “Login scripts.”
User object
A leaf object in NetWare Directory Services that represents a person with
access to the network. The following items are important to managing User
objects.
Login name
The login name is the name the user logs in with. A login name is mandatory
when creating a User object.
You can have a login name of up to 127 characters; however, for efficiency,
use one of the following conventions when creating login names:
• Given name (for example, user JANE).
• Surname (for example, user DOE).
• Initials and surname (for example, user JDOE).
Do not use special characters or control characters in a login name. Spaces
can be used but aren’t recommended.
When you use a login name with spaces in a login script, enclose the entire
login name within quotation marks. (To avoid this, use underscores in the
login name rather than spaces.)
