Using AUTHORIZE utility, adding users?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I tried to modify a users file and I could not find the user. As a matter of
 fact I could not find any user except system and default. I knew there were
 users on there though, because people would log on to this machine. I found
 out by asking around that
the systems administrator before I used: @sys$examples:adduser to add new
 users. I found the users directory and sure enough there were users, but I
 can't go into UAF and modify users, because it can't find any users. How can I
 fix this?
 

The Answer is :

 
  The OpenVMS Wizard suspects you are not accessing the real SYSUAF
  file.  Try to SET DEFAULT to SYS$SYSTEM before invoking AUTHORIZE.
 
  Alternatively, define the following logical names in your LOGIN.COM
  or in the system-wide SYLOGIN.COM:
 
$	DEFLOG := Define/Table=LNM$PROCESS/NoLog
$	If F$TrnLnm("SYSUAF","LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE") .eqs. ""
$	Then
$	  DEFLOG	SYSUAF		Sys$System:SYSUAF.DAT
$	  DEFLOG	NETUAF		Sys$System:NETUAF.DAT
$	  DEFLOG	NETPROXY	Sys$System:NETPROXY.DAT
$	  DEFLOG	NET$PROXY	Sys$System:NET$PROXY.DAT
$	  DEFLOG	RIGHTSLIST	Sys$System:RIGHTSLIST.DAT
$	EndIf
 
  These logical names will permit AUTHORIZE to locate the SYSUAF and
  related files regardless of the default directory.
 
  For details on setting up the required logical name references to the
  required shared files in an OpenVMS Cluster environment -- and
  particularly for setting up a cluster with multiple system disks --
  please see the comments in SYLOGICALS.TEMPLATE on OpenVMS V7.2 and
  later.
