NAME

dxaccounts − Graphical interface for account administration

SYNOPSIS

/usr/bin/X11/dxaccounts

DESCRIPTION

The Account Manager application, dxaccounts, helps you manage user accounts on your Tru64 UNIX system. It operates on both base security level systems and enhanced security (C2) level systems. 

The Account Manager application lets you manage both the local and Network Information Service (NIS) UNIX account databases. NIS is used in order to centrally manage user accounts in a network environment. NIS lets participating systems share a common set of passwd and group files. NIS uses a client-server model. 

When the Advanced Server for Tru64 UNIX product is installed, the Account Manager application allows you to perform domain user account management for PC users. 

The dxaccounts application can be invoked from:

The CDE Application Manager
Application Group: System_Admin
System Admin SubGroup: DailyAdmin

Online help is available for the dxaccounts application.  To get help, click on any Help button or use the Help pull-down menu. 

Account Manager replaces the XSysAdmin(8) and XIsso(8) applications. 

RESTRICTIONS

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. 

In order to make changes to the NIS databases, you must run the Account Manager on the machine designated as the NIS server.
