less. Changing the password can be done either by Betty
Password to
herself, or by the root user.
"MeBoss"
As root, set the password itself to " MeBoss ." Type:
newpass name=betty
The PortServer responds with
current passwd:
Type in " MeBoss "—note that it will not be echoed on the
screen. (You will be asked again for the new password, to make
sure it was typed correctly.)
Betty herself could have logged in (under her old, original
password of "betty," and changed the password herself with the
newpass command. In that case, she would not have to add
" name=betty ".
Change
Change the login prompt for port #2 from the default login> to
Login Prompt
MegaCorp> by typing:
to
#>set logins logprompt="MegaCorp>" range=1-16
MegaCorp>
Note that if you wanted to change login prompt just for port #2,
you could have typed range=2 ; the above range command
changed the login prompt for all attached ports.
The login prompt length is 11 characters.
Also note the quotation marks around "MegaCorp>"; these
weren't necessary in this example, but if a space had been
included (" Mega Corp> ") the quotation marks would have
been necessary to let the PortServer software know unambig-
uously what the new prompt string was.
Create New
This is done in the same way as in the preceding example with
User "Rex"
Betty. Type:
with
#>set users name=Rex passwd=on
Password
"wannaB"
Change the password (it is now "Rex") as described for Betty.
