The MX2 password system uses five fields separated by a colon.
The file 'passwd' contains all password records.
field 1 userid
field 2 password
field 3 path
field 4 program
field 5 comment
Example mx2::::
Is the minimum password record. It contains only the userid field with the
other fields set to null. This would login user 'mx2' with no password to
the default path 'current path' and run the default program 'gulam.prg'.
Example fred:AXKHRWQ:c\mx2:gulam.prg: login as me using my work id
Would login user 'fred' using encrypted password 'AXKHRWQ' to drive 'c'
path '/mx2' "note if a drive is specified DO NOT use a colon between the drive
character and the path" and run program 'gulam.prg'. The comment is not used
by the program and is there to inform the user. The program field could have
been a null entry or any other valid program. The program field
may include subdirectorys. ie ':\mx2\gulam.prg:'
The 'passwd.prg' is used to set and change user passwords. New users must
have a null field 2 when it is created. Passwords MUST be set with the
passwd.prg.
USAGE: passwd fred
^
user
Where fred is a system username in field 1 of a password record.
If there is no password the program will ask for a new password.
If a password already exists you will be asked for the old password
first, then if it is correct you can change the password. Passwords must be
at least 4 characters long.
Examine the supplied passwd file for more examples.
