Command List VII
Commands MOUNT thru OUTFENCE
job/session. Also, the priority requested by the user at logon is checked
against the
subqueuename
defined for that user, and the lower of these two
values is granted. Default is CS.
CAUTION
Processes capable of executing in the AS or BS subqueues can deadlock the
system. Assigning nonpriority system and user processes to these subqueues
can prevent the execution of critical system processes. Exercise extreme
caution in assigning processes to these subqueues.
localattribute
The local attribute of the user, as defined at the installation site. This is
a double-word bit map of arbitrary meaning that can be used to further
classify users. While it is not involved in standard MPE/iX security
provisions, it is available to processes through the WHO intrinsic for use in
the programmer's own security provisions. The NEWUSER command checks
the local attributes of the user with those of the account. Default is double
word 0 (null).
homegroupname
The name of an existing group to be assigned as the user's home group.
If none is assigned, the user must always specify a group when logging on.
Default is that no home group is assigned.
uid
User ID to be created for the account manager in the user database. The
uid
parameter must be an unique positive (non zero) 32-bit integer.
Default is for MPE to create a value. Duplicate id numbers are not be
allowed. The
uid
parameter provides file owner class security for MPE/iX.
REQ Specifies that the user must have a non-blank password. It is available
only if the HP Security Monitor has been installed.
OPT Specifies that a user password is optional. This is the default. It is
available only if the HP Security Monitor has been installed.
Expired
The password expires immediately. The user cannot logon without
selecting a new password. It is available only if the HP Security Monitor
has been installed.
Operation Notes
The account manager uses the NEWUSER command to define an account member. When the
user is defined, the account manager may also assign the user a password, a user ID,
capabilities, and may limit the user's use of system resources. Parameters defining these
values may also be omitted from the command line; in this case, the defaults are assigned
the user.
