Two new utilities have been added to MPE/iX and FSCHECK has been enhanced.
New utility: PXUTIL |
 |
This new utility was created to maintain the POSIX-required
user and group databases. When updating to or installing
Release 5.0, MPE/iX automatically creates the user ID (UID)
and group ID (GID) databases. The PXUTIL utility is
available for version information and backdating
capabilities.
A complete description of PXUTIL is included the MPE/iX System Utilities Reference Manual (32650-90081).
New backdating tool |
|
The enhancements introduced as of Release 4.5 and 5.0, such
as the use of hierarchical directories, files located
outside groups, and byte-stream files all serve to
complicate the backdating process. MPE/iX provides a
program called BDREPORT to simplify
backdating. Refer to Chapter 3 for a description of this program. Refer to the HP 3000 MPE/iX Installation, Update, and Add-On Manual (36123-90001) for information on backdating your system.
