QUICKSTART INSTRUCTIONS
=======================
1. Unzip SENTRYXX.ZIP into the directory you wish to run it
from. This should probably be C:\SENTRY, C:\SOMETHING\SENTRY, or
along those lines.
2. Copy ALL original Sentry files onto a floppy disk, and tuck
it away. This is for emergency recovery if required.
3. Use a text editor (like DOS's EDIT program) to edit the
Sentry.ini file. Instructions are provided as comments in the
Sentry.ini file. Make sure you read these instructions before
changing any settings.
4. Run Sentry. If an error occurs, you should check the
Readme.txt file for further help.
5. Log in as "Sentry" with password "Sentry" (note the
capitalizations). You must log in as a SuperUser, and to do
this, hold down the CTRL key while pressing ENTER after typing
the login.
6. Create the users on your system. The first one you should
create is you. Give yourself SuperUser access, and delete the
old Sentry account (a real security violation if you leave it!)
7. Set up all accounts as you see fit: assign max logins, expiry
dates and password expiry dates to reflect your needs.
8. Next you must modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to invoke Sentry
during boot-up. To do this, add the following line to the TOP of
your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
----------------- CUT ----------------
\Sentry\Sentry
----------------- CUT ----------------
You must change the pathname in line 1 to match the location you
unzipped Sentry into.
NOTE: These lines MUST be the first lines in your autoexec.bat
file. If not, the user may be given a chance to bypass Sentry by
pressing CTRL-C or CTRL-BREAK.
9. Read the Readme.txt file! This will give you a much more
in-depth discussion of what to do if problems arise, and how to
properly secure your system. I know it's long, but if you're
serious about security, it is a worthwhile effort.
