Page 20 Ÿ Quick Start
Create "regular" (as opposed to root) user "Betty" by typing:
#>set users name=betty
The user names are stored in a table of users, viewable by
typing " set users " without any other parameters. As you will
later find, this way of getting the current PortServer setup
information works for all commands. And an easy way of
getting help on commands from the PortServer software is to
type the command sequence followed by a space and a question
mark, like " set users ? " to get a list of the set users options.
User names are case sensitive; " Betty " does not mean the
same as " betty " or " bEtTy " to the PortServer software.
IMPORTANT! Note that for new users, the user password is
the same as the username, with the same capitalization. Betty's
password (until she changes it) is the same as her username
betty.
The user password is required by default (set to passwd=on ),
but we will set it to ON just to make sure. Type:
#>set users name=betty passwd=on
(Yes, we could have done this at the same time as the first step.
We had to type in " user name=betty " here so that the Port-
Server software knew which user we were talking about.)
