System Security
12–6
This section discusses the security functions that are accessible only to the
Level 8 user (the “administrator”). When you pick
Administer in the
Security menu, the Administer menu appears, as shown in Figure 12.6.

The Administer menu contains three items that enable the administrator to
inspect the password file, add new users, modify the password of any
existing user, or delete any user from the security system. In addition, it
contains an
Administer function, which enables the administrator to change
the text in selected menu fields and buttons.
View Password File
When you pick View PW File , the “ Viewing file <filename> ” panel
appears, an example of which is shown in Figure 12.7 (page 12–7). This
panel contains the contents of the “
EE: .passwd ” file.
From left to right, each line entry in this panel shows the user name, the
password, and the security level. For example, the topmost entry in
Figure 12.7 shows that the user’s name is “
BOB ,” the user’s password is
“ RBT ,” and the user’s level is “ 8 .” Thus, in this case, the top entry is also the
system administrator, while the remaining entries have lower security levels.
Note that the top–down order in the “ Viewing file ” list indicates only the
order in which the entries were made, not the hierarchy of security levels
(the Level 8 user could just as well have been the last in the list).
