Using the Password Security Feature
Using the Password Security Feature
Restricted
Access
In normal operation, console mode ( >>> ) allows all console
operator privileges, such as HALT, SET, DEPOSIT, and
EXAMINE.
Some companies require that direct access to memory and kernel
system operation be restricted to authorized personnel only. To
implement this restricted access, a password security feature
is available for console access and operation. With this feature
certain console commands, called privileged commands, are
accessible only to users possessing the correct password, which
enables the security feature.
