XSysAdmin(8)
NAME
  XSysAdmin - Windows interface for account administration functions
  (Enhanced Security)

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/tcb/bin/XSysAdmin

DESCRIPTION
				     Note

       The functions performed with the XSysAdmin program have been
       moved to another GUI.  The XSysAdmin program in this release is
       an interface to the old /usr/tcb/bin/dxaccounts program.	 Support
       for XSysAdmin will be discontinued after this release.

       The account functions documented in this reference page are
       performed in the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) using the
       Account Manager program found under the Application Manager -->
       System Management Utilities.  See the Account Manager's online
       help for more information.

       If you are using the DECwindows environment, use the new
       /usr/bin/X11/dxaccounts program (this is actually the Account
       Manager) to perform the accounts functions documented in this
       reference page.	See the dxaccounts(8X) reference page and the
       Account Manager's online help for more information.

  The XSysAdmin program is the windowing interface used to add users and
  groups and to modify account parameters and templates (the system
  administrator role functions).  To invoke this program, you must login as
  root.

  This interface program allows you to do the following:

    ·  Add a new user

    ·  Retire an account

    ·  Create a new group

    ·  Modify the account parameters of the person who performs the ISSO
       (Information System Security Officer) role.

    ·  Modify account templates.

  The person assigned the system administrator role generally cannot set
  account default values or modify the account parameters of a normal (non-
  ISSO) account.


  The program supports the following functions:

  Create User Accounts
     Allows you to create a new account. The home directory is created and
     the template files from /usr/skel are copied to the new home directory
     with a dot (.) prepended to the file.  The new account assumes all
     default values specified in the system default database.  These values
     are set by the ISSO.

  Retire User Accounts
     This allows you to retire a user account, including an ISSO account.
     Once retired, an account name can never be reused. You should only use
     this option if the account will never be reused; if you are unsure then
     you should use the Lock Account option.

  Create Groups
     Allows you to create a new group.

  Modify ISSO Accounts
     Allows you to select the account of the person performing the ISSO
     function and to modify the account parameters. These parameters will
     override any system-wide defaults that are specified. You can select the
     audit events that are audited for the user, the groups that the user may
     belong to, the login control parameters, and the password parameters.

  Modify Account Templates
     The XSysAdmin interface allows you to modify the account templates used
     to create accounts. An account template is actually an account that
     cannot be logged into.  You can change password parameters, assign
     groups, audit events, and login controls.
