SYSADMIN(8)             COMMAND REFERENCE             SYSADMIN(8)



NAME
     sysadmin - system administration interface

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/sysadmin [ -n ]

DESCRIPTION
     The command sysadmin executes the System Administration
     package found in /usr/sysadmin.  This package allows easy
     access to system configuration files and simple ways to
     perform many of the tasks required of the system
     administrator.

     Without the -n option, the system administrator password is
     requested, since the user must become the superuser to do
     any real work.

     With the -n option, the package is executed without a change
     to the user.  This provides a way to view the menus without
     being able to make any changes.

     Some universal commands are provided at menu choice.
     Documentation is provided by the package by typing H, h, or
     ?.  Typing (CNTRL-L) redraws the screen.  Typing ! followed
     by a command will execute the command.  After execution, the
     screen may have to be redrawn.  All other information is
     contained in the help mode provided by the package.

FILES
     /usr/sysadmin            System Administrator's home
                              directory

CAVEATS
     The userid for sysadmin is 0, which is the same userid as
     root.  It is very important to make sure that the sysadmin
     account has a password.  You may choose to use the same
     password for root and sysadmin, a different password, or a
     `*'.  Setting up the sysadmin account with a password of `*'
     will make it so that only the superuser can execute
     sysadmin.

     Sysadmin will not work on a screen that is smaller than 23
     lines by 79 columns.
