 Main Menu                          Help 4 of 6
  Before you run USERDEF, complete these steps:
 Default template:

 Install accounting in SYSCON (if you
        will use it)

 Create print device definitions for
        your printers with PRINTDEF;

 Create print job configurations in
        PRINTCON so they can be copied for new
        users.g
 Main Menu                          Help 5 of 6
  Custom template:

 Install accounting in SYSCON (if you
        will use it);

 Create user groups in SYSCON (if you
        need groups other than EVERYONE);

 Create application directories (if you
        aren't putting program files in
        SYS:PUBLIC);
 Main Menu                          Help 6 of 6
  Custom template (continued):

 Create a parent directory for users'
        home directories (if you don't want
        them directly in SYS:);

 Erase the home directory field to
        override the default directory path in
        SYS: (if you don't want users to have
        a home directory).
 Exit USERDEF                 Help 1 of 1
  To exit USERDEF, select Yes. To return
 to USERDEF, press <Escape>.
 Load DOS                           Help 1 of 1
  USERDEF tried to find COMMAND.COM in
 SYS:PUBLIC\%MACHINE\%OS\%OS_VERSION and
 failed.
 DOS must find COMMAND.COM after a program is
 run to return to the command line prompt.
 Loading DOS on your server also makes all DOS
 utilities available.
 Template List                      Help 1 of 1
  These are the defined templates. To view or
 edit a template, highlight it and press
 <Enter>.
 To delete a template, highlight it and press
 <Delete>. To delete several templates, mark
 each using Mark <F5>; then press <Delete>.
 To add a template, press <Insert>; then enter
 a template name.
 Copy DOS                           Help 1 of 1
  Load the DOS STARTUP disk. Use the version of

 of DOS that you boot your station with (the
 DOS you are using).
 Close the drive door.
 If you load DOS v3.30 from 3.5-inch diskettes,
 the STARTUP and OPERATING files are on one
 diskette, so press <Escape> when prompted to
 insert the OPERATING diskette.
 New Users Exist                    Help 1 of 1
  You created users but you told USERDEF not to
 make them permanent.

 select the appropriate template, and view old
 and new users. Then press <Escape> and answer
 Yes.
 If you don't want to make the users permanent,
 exit USERDEF.

 enter a valid password now. You can't stop
 the new user generation.

  These are the results of new user creation.

     MAKEUSER ran out of memory and couldn't
     complete the operation.
 "Directory already exists"
     A directory that a user was supposed to
     use already exists.
 Template List                      Help 1 of 1
  Select a template to specify the attributes
 (accounting restrictions, passwords, etc.) new
 users will have.
 Note: If you set up a user with one template
       and set up another user with another
       template and ask USERDEF to create them,
       they are both created with the last
       template used.
 User List                          Help 1 of 1
  These are existing and new users (users added
 during this session). New users are marked

 user's name. To delete new users, press
 <Delete>. Use SYSCON to delete existing users.
 To see a user's full name, highlight the
 user's name and press <Enter>.
 Delete Users                       Help 1 of 1
  To delete a user, highlight that user's name
 (or use Mark <F5> to mark several users); then
 press <Delete> and select Yes.
 To keep the user, press <Escape>.
 Only users marked with the "new" tag can be
 deleted. You can't delete existing users in
 USERDEF; use SYSCON.

 USERDEF uses the first name as the user's
 login name and password, unless you changed
 the Login Name field.
 Accounts Already Exist          Help 1 of 1
  Accounts already exist for people with this
 name.
 Suggested Login Name               Help 1 of 1
  The suggested login name for this new user is
 the first name of the full name (up to 32
 characters).
 If someone already uses that name, USERDEF
 adds a number to the name.
 If you don't like the suggested name, delete
 it and enter another login name.
 Add New Users                      Help 1 of 1
  To use the specified template and create
 users, select Yes. Otherwise press <Escape>.
