dxaccounts(8)


NAME

  dxaccounts - Graphical interface for account administration


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/bin/X11/dxaccounts


DESCRIPTION

  The Account Manager application, dxaccounts, helps you manage user accounts
  on your Tru64 UNIX system. It operates on both base security level systems
  and enhanced security (C2) level systems.

  The Account Manager application lets you manage both the local and Network
  Information Service (NIS) UNIX account databases. NIS is used in order to
  centrally manage user accounts in a network environment. NIS lets
  participating systems share a common set of passwd and group files. NIS
  uses a client-server model.

  When the Advanced Server for Tru64 UNIX product is installed, the Account
  Manager application allows you to perform domain user account management
  for PC users.

  To start Account Manager from the CDE desktop:Choose

   1.  the Application Manager from the CDE front panel.

   2.  Choose the System_Admin group.

   3.  Choose the DailyAdmin group.

   4.  Click on the Account Manager icon.

  Online help is available for the dxaccounts application. To get help, click
  on any Help button or use the Help pull-down menu.

  Account Manager replaces the XSysAdmin(8) and XIsso(8) applications.


RESTRICTIONS

  You must have root privileges to modify system files with this application.
  If dxaccounts is run without root permission, you may view but not modify
  account information.

  In order to make changes to the NIS databases, you must run Account Manager
  on the machine designated as the NIS server.
