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 Administering Your DOMAIN System.


OPTIONS

  At least one of the following options must be specified.


  -R rgypath         Specify the pathname of the new registry object you want to
                     create or the registry on which you want to  operate.    If
                     you  provide  just  a node name (//node), CRRGY creates the
                     registry "//node/registry/rgy_master", or  CRRGY  uses  the
                     file  //'this_node'/registry/registry  to locate the master
                     registry.    If  you  omit  a   pathname,   CRRGY   creates
                     "//'this_node'/registry/rgy_master."  We recommend that you
                     specify only a node name.

                     Default if omitted:  create //this_node/REGISTRY/RGY_MASTER

  -S site...         Create new site(s).  'site' specifies the pathname  of  the
                     registry  directory you want to create.  Multiple sites are
                     permitted, separated by blanks.  Files created at the sites
                     are  filled  with  default  identities.   The new sites are
                     included in the new registry master file.  If  you  do  not
                     specify    -S,   and   you   are   creating   a   registry,
                     "//'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 command creates a directory at the site,
                     copies all the registration data files  to  the  directory,
                     and adds the site names to the master file.  This option is
                     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.   This option is not valid
                     for  local  registries.    The  site  directories  are  NOT
                     deleted; their names are removed from the registry file.

  -LOC                Create  a  local registry.  The only valid pathnames for a
                     local registry are the following 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.  You may use this option 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 you use this option.

  -SEC               Set secure passwords to a minimum length of six characters.
                     This option is 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.   This option 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; maximum is 60.  This option requires
                     -LOC.


EXAMPLES


    $ 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.
