How to create a new user account (VMS)
Determine the account number to use by checking the list of
accounts for the next available number (e.g. [244,104])
Also determine the username by asking the new user or simply
use their lastname. For "account" use PHYS for most people.
For "password" make it something simple, and then show the user
how to change it by logging in with telnet and using "set password"
For device (ddcu:) use mvgd: if not sure.
(a) Log-in as system (on MVG e.g.)
(b) $ set def sys$system
$ run authorize
UAF> ADD name/pass=..../uic=[g,m]/direct=[name]/owner="full name"-
/account=..../device=ddcu:
UAF> show name
UAF> modify name/flag=nodisuser (on alphastations only)
UAF> exit
(c) $ run diskquota
> use ddcu:
> add name
> show name
> modify name/perm=##### (##### = number of blocks)
(use 20000 if not sure)
> exit
(d) $ create/dir ddcu:[name]/owner=name/vers=5 (vers=1 for some users)
Note: In the above, "name" is the username (e.g. jones),
ddcu: is the disk to use (e.g. mvgd:)
For some users, may need to log-in once to do the following also:
$ MAIL
> set mail_dir [.mail]
> set edit tpu
> set personal "full name"
> exit
