                                        [-C pers proj org [-p passw]

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 the DOMAIN System Administrator's Guide.


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.

                     Default if omitted:  use the current node's registry file
                                          copy /registry/registry to locate the
                                          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.


EXAMPLES

  $ edacct -loc -l       List entries in the local account file.
                         Note that most have expired.
