                                        [-C pers proj org [-p passw]
                                        [-h homedir]] [-L [pers [proj [org]]]]

FORMAT

  EDACCT [options]


  EDACCT  is  used  to  define  accounts in the network registry.  Valid person,
  project, and organization names must have been previously defined with EDPPO.

  While all of the EDACCT options are described below, it is unlikely  that  you
  will  be  able  to  manipulate the network registry unless you are the network
  administrator  for  your  network.    The  registry  is   protected   by   ACL
  restrictions.  However, you will be able to list registry entries.

  For complete information on the use of network administration commands such as
  EDACCT, see Administering Your DOMAIN System.


OPTIONS

  At least one of the following options must be specified; however, you may only
  include  one  -A,  -D, -C, or -L option per command line.  If the command line
  does NOT include -A, -D, -C, or  -L,  EDACCT  enters  an  interactive  editing
  session  and accepts commands from standard input.  Type, HELP EDACCT COMMANDS
  for a description of all the interactive EDACCT commands.

  -R pathname        Specify pathname of registry you want to use.   You  should
                     only  use  this  option  with  -LOC  (described  below)  to
                     manipulate a remote node's local registry.  If you want  to
                     manipulate  the  master  registry, omit this option and let
                     EDACCT    use    the    network    registry    file    copy
                     ('/registry/registry')  on  the  current node to locate the
                     master registry.

  -A pers proj org homedir password
                     Add  a  new account with the person, project, organization,
                     log in home directory, and password indicated.    You  must
                     specify  all  fields;  you  can  use "None" to specify proj
                     and/or org.  A space between two quotation marks  specifies
                     a  blank  password.    This  option  is not valid for local
                     registries.

  -D pers proj org
                     Delete   the   account   with   the  person,  project,  and
                     organization names indicated.  You must specify all fields.
                     This option is not valid for local registries.

  -C pers proj org [-p passw] [-h homedir]
                     Change the password and/or the login home directory for the
                     account  named.   A space between two quotes may be used to
                     specify a blank password.  This option  is  not  valid  for
                     local registries.

  -L [pers [proj [org]]]
                     List specified entries.    All  entries  for  a  particular
                     category are listed if you omit that portion of the account
                     specification.  You may also use "%" in any of  the  fields
                     to  match  all  entries  in that field.  If you indicate no
                     accounts by name, all accounts are listed.

  -LOC               Use the registry  '/registry/local_registry'  on  the  node
                     given  by the -R option or this node.  You may specify only
                     the node name (//node) for "pathname" on -R in  this  case.
                     If  you  specify  -LOC, the only valid operation is to list
                     entries (-L).

  -NP                Suppress prompts for interactive editing.
