- .../files
-
- This directory contains the support files needed for INGRES to
- run. The critical ones are:
-
- dayfile7
- The dayfile printed by the tty monitor when INGRES starts
- up.
- dbtmplt7
- The file that describes the database, used by creatdb.
- equel7
- The process table used by INGRES when called from an EQUEL
- program.
- error7_0
- error7_1
- error7_2
- error7_3
- error7_4
- error7_5
- error7_6
- The files containing the text of error messages.
- proctab7
- The process table used by INGRES when it is invoked normally.
- procx7
- The process talbe used by INGRES when it is invoked
- as "ingresx".
- startup
- A file executed by the monitor at startup, typically
- defining a few basic macros.
- usage
- A file printed if the parameters to INGRES are wrong.
- This can be as terse or as verbose as necessary, given the
- sophistication of your users.
- users
- A list of valid INGRES users, their internal code, and
- their capabilities. More below.
-
- Every user on your system who is going to use INGRES \must/ be
- included in the "users" file. This file looks much like the
- /etc/passwd file, with fields separated by colons, etc. The
- first, third, and fourth fields are the login name, user id,
- and group ids respectively, exactly like the /etc/passwd file.
- The second field is that user's internal code, which is always
- exactly two printable characters. There is also an octal field
- that describes capabilities; the principle capability is the
- 000001 bit which allows that person to create databases.
-
- Users that are not entered into the users file WILL NOT be
- able to use INGRES.
-
- This file can be set up for everyone on your system by using
- the "usersetup" command.
