10.0;edsd (edit_subscriber_directory), revision 1.0, 88/02/08
usage:  edsd  [-l [ name ]... ]
                [-lf [ name ]... ]
                [-a name address ]
                [-c name address ]
                [-d name ]



DESCRIPTION
     edsd  is  used  to create or modify electronic mail accounts in the
     subscriber directory.  The subscriber directory is used to associate a
     mail address with a user account name in the network registry.  Valid
     person, group, and organization names must have been previously defined
     with edrgy.

     While all the edsd options are described below, it is unlikely  that  you
     can manipulate the subscriber directory unless you are the network
     administrator for your network.  The subscriber directory is protected by
     ACL restrictions.  However, you can list registry entries.

     See DPSS/Mail User's Guide, Appendix B: System Administrator's Guide for
     information about setting up communication between DPSS/Mail), UNIX, and
     Alis delivery subsystems.


OPTIONS
     At least one of the following options must be specified.

     -l [name]...   List subscriber directory entries for the specified names.
                    If no names are specified, all subscriber directory
                    entries are listed.

     -lf [name]...  List the name(s) specified, along with associated full
                    name text, if any.  If name is omitted, all names are
                    listed.

     -a name address
                    Add  a  new mail subscriber with the address as specified.
                    The mail address must be a string without embedded blanks
                    or commas.  The mail address is as expected by the mail
                    delivery subsystem in use.  The name specified must not
                    already be a mail subscriber.

     -c name address
                    Change the mail address of an existing mail subscriber to
                    the address as specified.  The mail address must be a
                    string without embedded blanks or commas.  The mail
                    address is as expected by the mail delivery subsystem in
                    use.  The name specified must already be a mail
                    subscriber.

     -d name        Delete the mail subscriber from the subscriber directory.
                    The name is no longer be considered  a mail subscriber by
                    cooperating mail delivery subsystems.

EXAMPLES
     List all entries in the subscriber directory.
