ADDING USER NAMES
When users log onto an AMOS computer, they must identify themselves by entering a user name and,
optionally, a password. As shipped from Alpha Micro, two user names are defined,
Demo
and
System
Service
. You will no doubt want to add more names for your users. You can do so with the MUSER
command.
To use MUSER, first log into the System Operator’s account, DSK0:[1,2] (also called OPR:):
LOG OPR:
RETURN
MUSER
RETURN
At the MUSER menu, you can type
L
RETURN
to list the currently defined users, or
A
RETURN
to add new
users. Besides name and password, you can define many characteristics and limits for each user. For
details, see the MUSER sheet in the AMOS System Commands Reference Manual.
When you’re done adding users, type
F
RETURN
at the MUSER menu to save the changes you’ve made
and close the program.
MODIFYING THE SYSTEM INITIALIZATION FILE
The system initialization command file is a special file in account DSK0:[1,4] that defines all of the
devices connected to your computer, the jobs that will run on the computer, and special programs which
need to be loaded into memory. It is often called simply the “initialization file.” As your requirements
change or you add devices to your computer, you must modify the initialization file.
As described in Chapter 3, you set the name of the initialization file by using the CMOS setup feature.
When it ships from Alpha Microsystems, the AM-6060 is set to use an initialization file called
AM6060.INI. You can continue to use this name for your initialization file, switch to one of the other
provided initialization files, or create a file with a different name and start using it. The name most often
used for the initialization file is AMOS32.INI
Besides AM6060.INI, there is already an AMOS32.INI file in DSK0:[1,4] on your computer. That
file defines only serial port #0, and does not include the network setup commands found in
AM6060.INI.
NEVER change the system initialization file directly! Always make a copy of it and modify the
copy, as described below.
To make a copy of the system initialization file to be modified and tested:
1. Log into DSK0:[1,4] by typing:
LOG DSK0:[1,4]
RETURN
2. Then, type:
COPY TEST.INI=AM6060.INI
RETURN
(or AMOS32.INI)
3. Use AlphaVUE or another text editor to edit the contents of the test file:
