NEWACCT

Name to be assigned to the new account. This name must contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with an alphabetic character.

Name of the account manager. This is always the first user created under the account. Table 5-6 “Account Manager Default Capabilities” lists the default capabilities assigned to an account manager.

The attributes of an account manager may be changed with the ALTUSER command after mgrname is defined. However, in no case is this user granted attributes greater than those assigned the account.

Account password, used for verifying logon access only. This password must contain from one to eight alphanumeric characters, beginning with an alphabetic character. Default is that no password is assigned.

Disk storage limit, in sectors, for the permanent files of the account. The maximum value you may define is 2,147,483,647 sectors. Default is unlimited file space.

Limit on total CPU-time, in seconds, for this account. This limit is checked only when a job or session is initiated, and so the limit never causes the job or session to abort. The maximum value you may define with NEWACCT is 2,147,483,647 seconds. Default is that no limit is assigned.

Limit on total session connect-time, in minutes, allowed the account. This limit is checked at logon, and when the job or session initiates a new process. The maximum value you may define is 2,147,483,647 minutes. Default is that no limit is assigned.

The list of capabilities, separated by commas, permitted this account. Each capability is denoted by a two letter mnemonic, as follows:

  System Manager  = SM
  Account Manager = AM
  Account Librarian   = AL
  Group Librarian = GL
  Diagnostician  = DI
  System Supervisor   = OP
  Network Administrator = NA
  Node Manager   = NM
  Save Files = SF
  Access to Nonshareable
   I/O Devices  = ND
  Use Volumes   = UV
  Create Volumes  = CV
  Use Communication
   Subsystem   = CS
  Programmatic Sessions = PS
  User Logging   = LG
  Process Handling = PH
  Extra Data Segments  = DS
  Multiple RINs  = MR
  Privileged Mode = PM
  Interactive Access  = IA
  Batch Access   = BA

Default is AM, AL, GL, SF, ND, IA, BA.

The restriction on file access pertinent to this account. Default is R,L,A,W,X:AC, where R, L, A, W, and X specify modes of access by types of users (ANY, AC, GU, AL, GL, CR) as follows:

  R  =  Read
  L  =  Lock 
  A  =  Append 
  W  =  Write 
  X  =  Execute
  S  =  Save

LOCK allows exclusive access to the file. APPEND implicitly specifies LOCK. WRITE implicitly specifies APPEND.

The user types are specified as follows:

  ANY =  Any user
  AC =  Member of this account only
  GU =  Member of this group only
  AL =  Account librarian user only
  GL =  Group librarian user only
  CR =  Creating user only

The default is no security restrictions at the account level. Two or more user types may be specified if they are separated by commas.

The name of the subqueue of highest priority that can be requested by any process of any job/session in the account. This parameter is specified as AS, BS, CS, DS, or ES.

The local attribute of the account, as defined at the installation site. This is a double word bit map used to further classify accounts. While it is not part of standard MPE/iX security provisions, programmers may define local attributes (which are checked by the WHO intrinsic) to enhance the security of their software. Default is double word 0.

Specifies a particular volume set on which the account is to be built. It must be a volume set already defined and recognized by the system. A NEWACCT must be specified twice, once without the ONVS parameter, and once with it. The first NEWACCT builds the account on the system volume set (from which the account is accessed). The second NEWACCT builds the account on the volume set where files in this account will exist.

The only other parameter that works with ONVS is the FILES parameter.

Volume set names consist of from 1 to 32 characters, beginning with an alphabetic character. The remaining characters may be alphabetic, numeric, the underscore, and periods.

If you specify a volumesetname, you must specify the full name of the volume set. When ONVS=volumesetname is specified, the volume set directory is assumed. When ONVS= is specified without volumesetname, the system directory is assumed.

Group ID to be added to the group database. The gid must be an unique positive (non-zero) 32-bit integer. Default is for MPE to create a value. Duplicate id numbers are not allowed.

User ID to be created for the account manager in the user database. The uid must be an unique positive (non zero) 32-bit integer. Default is for MPE to create a value. Duplicate id numbers are not allowed. The uid is associated to the manager of the account.

Specifies that all users in the account are to have non-blank passwords. If you require user passwords, MPE/iX assigns the account manager a blank, expired password. The account manager must select a new password the first time the Manager logs on. It is available only if the HP Security Monitor has been installed.

Specifies that users of the account may or may not have passwords. This is the default. It is available only if the HP Security Monitor has been installed.
