EDACCT command_name

2.0;edacct (edit_acct_file),revision 2.0, 83/01/03
EDACCT (EDIT_ACCOUNT) -- Create, edit, or list accounts.
usage: EDACCT [-R pathname]  [ -A pers proj org homedir password]
              [-D pers proj org] [-C pers proj org [-p passw] [-h homedir] ]
              [-L [pers [proj [org]]]] [-LOC] [-NP]


FORMAT

  EDACCT [options]

  EDACCT is used to define accounts in the network registry.  Valid person,
  project, and organization names must have been previously defined with EDPPO.

  While all of the EDACCT options are described below, it is unlikely that you
  will be able to manipulate the network registry unless you are the network
  administrator for your network.  The registry is protected by ACL
  restrictions.  However, you will be able to list registry entries.


OPTIONS

  At least one of the following options must be specified; however, you may
  only include one -A, -D, -C, or -L option per command line.  If the command
  line does NOT include -A, -D, -C, or -L, EDACCT enters an interactive editing
  session and accepts commands from standard input.  Type, HELP EDACCT COMMANDS
  for a description of all the interactive EDACCT commands.

  -R pathname      Specify pathname of registry to be used.
                   Default if omitted: use the current node's registry file
                                       copy /registry/registry to locate the
                                       registry.

  -A pers proj org homedir password
                   Add a new account with the person, project, and organization
                   names, login home directory, and password indicated.  All
                   fields must be given, separated by blanks or periods. 'None'
                   can be used for proj and/or org.  A space between two quotes
                   may be used to specify a blank password.  Not valid for local
                   registries.

  -D pers proj org
                   Delete the account with the person, project, and organization
                   names indicated.  All fields must be given.  Not valid for
                   local registries.

  -C pers proj org [-p passw] [-h homedir]
                   Change the password and/or the login home directory for the
                   account named.  A space between two quotes may be used to
                   specify a blank password.  Not valid for local registries.

  -L [pers [proj [org]]]
                   List specified entries.  All entries for a particular
                   category are listed if that portion of the account
                   specification is omitted.  You may also use "%" in any of
                   the fields to match all entries in that field.  If you
                   indicate no accounts by name, all accounts are listed.

  -LOC             Use the registry '/registry/local_registry' on the node given
                   by the -R option, or this node.  Only the node name (//node)
                   may be specified for 'pathname' on -R in this case. If you
                   specify -LOC, the only valid operation is to list entries
                   (-L).

  -NP              Suppress prompts for interactive editing.


EXAMPLE

  $ edacct -loc -l       List entries in the local account file.
                         Note that most have expired.
