The Account Manager application, dxaccounts, helps you manage user accounts on your Tru64 UNIX(R) system. It operates on both base security level systems and enhanced security (C2) level systems.
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.
The Account Manager application allows you manage both the local and Network Information Service (NIS) account databases. NIS is used in order to centrally manage user accounts in a network environment. NIS allows participating systems to share a common set of passwd and group files. NIS uses a client-server model. In order to make changes to the NIS databases, you must run the Account Manager on the machine designated as the NIS server.
To start dxaccounts from the graphical user interface: Click on the Application Manager icon on the CDE front panel. Double click on the System_Admin application group icon. Double click on the DailyAdmin application group icon. Double click on the Account Manager application icon.
