NOTE The Account Manager requires a bit-mapped display; it does not run on
ASCII terminals. Also, small bit-mapped displays (such as some PC
displays), which may cut off portions of dialog boxes, are unsupported.
Running the Account Manager
If you are running the Account Manager locally, you do not need to set
the DISPLAY environment variable ($DISPLAY). If you are running the
Account Manager from a remote machine, however, use the following
command to set the DISPLAY environment variable to the local
machine:
export DISPLAY= localhostname :0.0
If $DISPLAY is not set, the following warning displays:
Warning: You are viewing the Account Manager using a
remote X display. Passwords and other confidential
information will pan over the network in clear text, and
may be seen by network pirates. You may wish to exit the
Account Manager and run it from a local X display.
Start the Account Manager with the following command:
/opt/dce/bin/acctmgr
If you want to perform privileged operations (such as registry
modifications) with the Account Manager, you must run the Account
Manager as the DCE cell_admin principal.
The Account Manager can also be started as follows from SAM:
1. Log in as root.
2. Execute sam from a shell prompt.
3. Select (double click on) DCE Cell Management.
4. Select (double click on) DCE Account Manager.
Tips for New Users
• Log into DCE before starting the Account Manager, or use the Login
option from within the Account Manager.
• Establish your preferences in the Options "Preferences" dialog box
