QUICKSTART INSTRUCTIONS
=======================
1. If you are upgrading, run your current copy of Sentry and
select "Export Initialization Settings" from the SuperUser menu.
Otherwise, skip to step 2.
2. Unzip SENTRYXX.ZIP into a temporary directory. Overwrite any
existing files.
3. Copy ALL original Sentry files onto a floppy disk, and tuck
it away. This is for emergency recovery if required.
4. Run the program called INSTALL.EXE. Enter the path you want
to install Sentry to. This will automatically create all the
proper initialization settings. If you exported the settings in
step 1, you will be asked if you wish to use them. If you use
the exported settings, you can skip steps 6, 7 and 8 - your
system will already be set up.
5. Run Sentry. If an error occurs, you should check the
Readme.txt file for further help.
6. 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.
7. 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!)
8. Set up all accounts as you see fit: assign max logins, expiry
dates and password expiry dates to reflect your needs.
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 time well spent.
