SYNOPSIS

sam

DESCRIPTION

The command sam starts a menu-driven, screen-oriented user interface program that enables the user to perform system administration tasks without having or acquiring specialized knowledge of HP-UX. It is a self-guided tool and context sensitive help is available at any point. Information entered by the user is checked for validity as each field in a form is filled in. A status message is displayed whenever a task is performed.

Sam provides access to the following functions:

• User and Group Accounts Management

• File System Management

• Kernel and Device Configuration

• Line Printer Spooling Management

• UUCP Management

• Diskless Cluster Management

• Network Nodal Configuration

• Trusted Systems Management

As the Network Nodal Configuration and Trusted Systems features are not present on all system configurations, these areas are not always accessible through sam .
