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 9.0 (SR9.0).  Normally, this process is performed as part of the SR9 installation procedure.  Addroot must be run before you add a ‘root’ log-in account (with /com/edacct) and/or before you use chown(1) to specify super-user ownership of files. 

NOTES

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

Addroot will succeed only if it is executed by a process that has the appropriate access to the network registry. 

FILES

/registry/* network registry

/etc/passwd* password files
