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.

     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.

     Without the -n option, the system administrator password is
     requested, since the user must become the superuser to do
     any real work.  If the user is root, the -n option
     eliminates the need to enter a terminal type when starting
     sysadmin, but does allow changes to be made.

     Some universal commands are provided at menu choice:

          H,  h, or  ?   Help information about the package is
                         provided

          Ctrl L         Redraws the screen

     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 password protection.

     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; this is the
     default.

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