Through using SENTRY to perform these tasks, you will enjoy data entry programs which validate
parameters such as home path and group names. Cross reference lists for groups and users will assist you
in creating just the users and groups you need without an inadvertent duplication.
These SENTRY maintenance programs assist you in cleaning up obsolete user IDs and groups that you no
longer want. Through the data entry programs you may quickly access an unwanted group and remove all
references to it. When SENTRY is used to remove a user ID, references to that ID are removed.
SENTRY provides the maintenance link between the file system permissions, the passwd file and the group
file.
