User Names, Passwords and Groups

Password updating is covered in Chapter 5. Refer to that chapter for full details on updating
and maintaining user names and passwords.You may want to change your system access
passwords frequently, in order to maintain optimum security on your network. The
recommended passwords are a minimum of 6 and no more than 12 characters in length, are
not found in a dictionary, and contain both letters and numbers. Because the system is
case-sensitive for password entries, you can mix uppercase and lowercase letters to provide
more possible passwords.
The user administration function is activated by entering 'n' for usrNames from the CPU Main
screen, as shown in Figure 7-2 on page 7-5.
The system supports 256 possible users. Each user is defined by the use of three entries or
fields. The fields are editable by a user who has Administrator or Superuser access. Following
is a brief description to the user fields
