NAME

addroot − add a root ID

USAGE

/etc/addroot

DESCRIPTION

Addroot adds a privileged ‘root’ person ID to the network registry.  It need only be done for network registries established with software supplied prior to Apollo Software Release 9 (SR9), and is normally done as part of the SR9 installation procedure.  Addroot must be run prior to adding a ‘root’ log-in account (with /com/edacct) or using chown(1) to establish super-user ownership of files. 

NOTES

After executing addroot, crpasswd(8) should be run to update the UNIX accounting files in /etc. 

Addroot will succeed only if executed by a process having the appropriate access to the network registry. 

FILES

/registry/*network registry
/etc/passwd*password files
