MORE THAN 20 CHARGE CHANGES HELP
The method that the file server uses, to store what amounts are being charged during what time of the day, allows a maximum of 20 times when the charge rate changes. One entry can change the rate to a new value for one or more days. For instance one entry can change the charge for connection time to 1/30 at 8:00am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It takes another entry to change the rate to 1/50 at 8:00am on Tuesday. Each time of the day that a rate change occurs uses at least one entry and it will use more than one entry if there is a change for more than one day and the charge rate is not the same.
Consolidate the rate changes you have made so that it does not take more than 20 entries to store the rate changes.

MAXIMUM DISK SPACE HELP
Enter the maximum disk space that a user should be able to use on the file server. Enter the amount of disk space in kilobytes (1K is 1024 bytes). Since disk space is allocated in 4K blocks, the amount of space you entered will be rounded up to a 4K boundery. Keep in mind that files are allocated in 4K blocks also so the actual disk space that a file is using is usually larger that the file size show by a directory listing (the size must be rounded up to the next 4K boundery).
When you have entered the disk space limit, press the SELECT key or the ESCAPE key.
If you have changed this limit and do not want to save the changes press the CANCEL key and then the ESCAPE key.

ACCOUNT BALANCE HELP
This form shows the user's current account balance and the user's credit limit. The account balance is the amount of funds that the user currently has. Each time the user is charged for a service his account balance is decremented.
The credit limit determines how low the user's account balance can drop before he will no longer receive services that are being charged for. If the user is given unlimited credit then he will always be given services and the account balance will only serve as an indicator of how much service the user is receiving. If the user has limited credit then when the account balance falls below the specified credit limit the user will not longer receive services that are being charged for.
A credit limit of 0 means the user can not receive any further services when his account balance drops below zero. A negative credit limit means the user's account is allowed to go in the hole, until it reaches the credit limit. A positiive credit limit means the user is required to the specified amount of funds in his account at all times.

INTRUDER DETECTION/LOCKOUT HELP
INCORRECT LOGIN ATTEMPTS
This entry is used by the file server to determine the when an
intruder is attempting to break into an account and when a user
mistyped his password. The file server tracks the number of
incorrect login attempts that occur for each user account. It
resets the number of incorrect logins for an account whenever the
user successfully logs into the file server or when the the BAD
LOGIN COUNT RETENTION TIME has past since the last bad login. If
the number of incorrect logins for a user reaches the number
entered in the INCORRECT LOGIN ATTEMPTS field then the file server
will "detect" an intruder. When an intruder is detected a entry
is placed in the audit file and the file server error log file
indicating the address of the intruder and the account he was
attempting to log into. In addition the account the intruder was
attempting to log into can be locked.

then a note indicating that an intruder was detected will be
generated, but the account will not be locked. If an account is
locked then no-one can login to the account for the length of time specified in the LENGTH OF ACCOUNT LOCKOUT field. This is intended
to make it impossible to login by trying to guess a password. The
account can be unlocked before the specified time has past by any
supervisor equilivant station using SYSCON. In addition the

ACCOUNT BALANCE HELP
This form shows the user's current account balance and the user's credit limit. The account balance is the amount of funds that the user currently has. Each time the user is charged for a service his account balance is decremented.
The credit limit determines how low the user's account balance can drop before he will no longer receive services that are being charged for. If the user is given unlimited credit then he will always be given services and the account balance will only serve as an indicator of how much service the user is receiving. If the user has limited credit then when the account balance falls below the specified credit limit the user will not longer receive services that are being charged for.
A credit limit of 0 means the user can not receive any further services when his account balance drops below zero. A negative credit limit means the user's account is allowed to go in the hole, until it reaches the credit limit. A positiive credit limit means the user is required to the specified amount of funds in his account at all times.
