CRRGY (CREATE_REGISTRY) -- Create or modify network registry.
usage: CRRGY  {-R rgypath | [-S | -A | -D  site...] | -LOC | -SEC | -EX |
               -COUNT n | -DAYS n}


FORMAT

  CRRGY [options]


  CRRGY allows you to create a network registry, create a local registry on
  the master node, or change registry sites.

  For complete information about both network and local registries, see the
  "DOMAIN System Administrator's Guide."

OPTIONS

  At least one of the following options must be specified.

  -R rgypath       Specify pathname of registry to be modified or new registry
                   object to be created.  If just a node name (//node) is given,
                   the registry, //node/REGISTRY/RGY_MASTER is created, or the
                   file, //node/REGISTRY/REGISTRY is used to locate the master
                   registry.  We recommend specifying only a node name.
                   Default if omitted: create //this_node/REGISTRY/RGY_MASTER

  -S site...       Create new site(s).  'Site' specifies the pathname of
                   each registry directory to be created.  Multiple sites are
                   permitted, separated by blanks.  Files created at the sites
                   are filled with default identities.  The new site names are
                   included in the new registry master file.  If -S is not
                   specified and a registry is being created,
                   //this_node/REGISTRY/RGY_SITE is used.  Sites may be located
                   anywhere in the network.  This option is not valid for local
                   registries.

  -A site...       Add site name(s) to the existing registry specified by the
                   -R option.  This will create a directory at the site, copy
                   all the registry data files to it, and add the site name
                   to the master file.  Not valid for local registries.

  -D site...       Delete site name(s) in the existing registry master file
                   specified by the -R option. The master registry file reflects
                   the change but the registry file copies (/REGISTRY/REGISTRY)
                   do not.  Not valid for local registries. The site directories
                   are NOT deleted; the only action is to remove their names
                   from the registry file.

  -LOC             Create a local registry.  The  only valid pathnames for a
                   local registry are the default names:

                   //node/REGISTRY/LOCAL_REGISTRY for the master and

                   //node/REGISTRY/LOCAL_SITE for the site.

                   Thus, you should only specify a root name ("//node") with
                   the -R option and let all other defaults apply.

  -EX              Specify that the given sites already exist.  Do not create
                   the sites specified, just include their names in the registry
                   master file.  This option may be used to create a replacement
                   registry master file that points to existing sites or to add
                   existing site names to an existing master file (-A).   No
                   check is made to ensure that the sites really do exist.  The
                   site names must be full pathnames when this option is used.

  -SEC             Set secure passwords to minimum length of 6 characters.  Not
                   valid for local registries.

  -COUNT n         Specify the number of slots (n) to create in a local registry
                   account file.   The default number is 25; minimum is 5.
                   Requires -LOC.  Nodes serving diskless partners should have
                   enough entries to allow slots for the users of the diskless
                   nodes.

  -DAYS n          Specify number of days (n) during which an entry in a local
                   registry account file will remain valid after login.  The
                   default number is 21; the maximum is 60.  Requires -LOC.
EXAMPLE

  $ crrgy -loc -count 50 -days 30      Create a new local registry with
  $                                     spaces for 50 account entries
                                        which will each be valid for
                                        30 days after login.  Previous
                                        local registry accounts are lost.
