Creating, Modifying, and Deleting Accounts 

Account IDs can be created, modified, and deleted by users with system
manager capability.

Creating an Account 

The syntax for creating a new account (accountname) is:

     NEWACCT accountname,accountmanager;PASS=password 

Accountname and accountmanager are required.  The password is optional;
all other parameters are also optional.

Modifying an Account 

The syntax for modifying any account attribute (the password for example)
is:

     ALTACCT accountname;PASS=password 

The account name is the only required parameter.

Deleting an Account 

The syntax for deleting an account is:

     PURGEACCT accountname 

Note that entry of the password is not required to delete the account.
Deleting an account also deletes all groups and users defined under that
account.
