MAINTENANCE
PASSWORD MAINTENANCE
Passwords can be changed by logging in and using the passwd command.
They can be added when logged in as root by entering the passwd command with the new User-id as the first
parameter.
They can be deleted by coping the /etc/passwd file to diskette, removing the line containing the user-id, coping
the file back to the EDG and rebooting the EDG.
ACTIVITY LOG MAINTENANCE
The logs in the /activity directory should be periodically deleted to prevent the disk from filling up. The amount
of data written to them can be reduced by disabling informational messages using the log command. In general,
warning messages should always be logged to a file.
LOADING NEW SOFTWARE RELEASES
1)
Insert the Loader diskette into the floppy drive.
2)
Enter "reboot -h" from the Diagnostic Terminal, press the reset button on the CAP Board, or turn on the
EDG.
3)
Each time the EDG prompts for a diskette, insert an Application diskette or Configuration Working
diskette. When all disks have been loaded, press return with no diskette inserted.
Do NOT press the reset button on the MVME147S board
NOTE
while the hard disk is active. Doing so may lock up the drive,
requiring power to be cycled on the EDG.
