  NAME

    setup - Initializes the system for its first user

  SYNOPSIS

    setup

  DESCRIPTION

    The setup command, which is also accessible as a login by the same name,
    allows the first user to be established as the ``owner'' of the machine.

    The user is permitted to add the first logins to the system, usually
    starting with his or her own.

    The user can then protect the system from unauthorized modification of the
    machine configuration and software by giving passwords to the
    administrative and maintenance functions.  Normally, the first user of the
    machine enters this command through the setup login, which initially has
    no password, and then gives passwords to the various functions in the
    system.  Any that the user leaves without password protection can be
    exercised by anyone.

    The user can then give passwords to system logins such as root, bin, and
    so on (provided they do not already have passwords).  Once given a
    password, each login can only be changed by that login or root.

    The user can then set the date, time and time zone of the machine.

    The user can then set the nodename of the machine.

  EXAMPLES

    Please see the AT&T UNIX System V System Administrator's Guide for
    examples on how to run setup.

  CAUTIONS

    If the setup login is not under password control, anyone can put passwords
    on the other functions.

  DIAGNOSTICS

    The passwd command complains if the password provided does not meet its
    standards.

  EXIT VALUES

    The setup command exits with a value of 0 if successful and a value of 1
    if it encounters a problem.
