- # Do NOT edit this file by hand except to alter group or user id's.
- # Use the supplied commands to edit entries when possible, as follows:
- #
- # chfn - change a user's "real" name
- # chsh - change a user's shell and/or homedir
- # passwd- change a user's password
- # nu - create a new user, or modify all of an old user's info
- #
- # You cannot change a username without rendering its password invalid.
- # If you wish to alter a username, you MUST create a new user and
- # destroy the old; this means that you must supply a new password
- # for that user as well. Encrypted passwords are not transferrable
- # between usernames.
- #
- # It is okay to change the other parameters of a user's passwd entry,
- # although (with the exception of uid and gid) it is preferred that
- # you use one of the above commands.
- #
- # Deletion of an encrypted password causes the correct password to be
- # a null string. If this file is publicly accessible (and I don't
- # know how to make it *not* publicly accessible), users can destroy
- # other users' passwords or accounts, or *change* passwords to
- # garbage strings). Since the system isn't really secure anyway,
- # and users are assumed to be friendly toward one another, though,
- # I don't think this should be a problem.
- # You can sort of handle this problem by:
- # 1. Encrypting this file with one of XPK's encryptors,
- # 2. Assigning an XFH volume to ETC:,
- # 3. Mounting that XFH volume,
- # 4. Changing "etc:" strings to "XFH:" in all supplied software with
- # a file-editing tool such as NewZAP.
- # Note that the assign and mount must occur before the login in your
- # startup-sequence, and that you should not reboot without testing
- # this setup first (see the documentation for how to use the login
- # program outside of the startup-sequence). Alternatively, you could
- # give yourself a loophole in the startup-sequence that allows you
- # to break out of the login program's exclusive control of system
- # access.
- #
- # DANGER DANGER DANGER:
- # You should change the root password before making the system open
- # to other users. DO NOT REBOOT WITHOUT KNOWING A PASSWORD! If you
- # lock yourself out this way, there is NO WAY to regain access to
- # your system unless you can still boot from floppy!
- #
- # DEFAULT ROOT ENTRY, PASSWORD is "root"
