NAME
       dxaccounts - Graphical interface for account administration

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/X11/dxaccounts

DESCRIPTION
       The  Account  Manager  application,  dxaccounts,	 helps you manage user
       accounts on your Tru64 UNIX system. It operates on both	base  security
       level systems and enhanced security (C2) level systems.

       The Account Manager application lets you manage both the local and Net‐
       work Information Service (NIS) UNIX account databases. NIS is  used  in
       order  to  centrally manage user accounts in a network environment. NIS
       lets participating systems share a  common  set	of  passwd  and	 group
       files. NIS uses a client-server model.

       When  the  Advanced  Server  for	 Tru64	UNIX product is installed, the
       Account Manager application allows you to perform domain	 user  account
       management for PC users.

       To  start  Account  Manager from the CDE desktop:Choose the Application
       Manager from the CDE  front  panel.   Choose  the  System_Admin	group.
       Choose the DailyAdmin group.  Click on the Account Manager icon.

       Online  help  is available for the dxaccounts application. To get help,
       click on any Help button or use the Help pull-down menu.

       Account Manager replaces the XSysAdmin(8) and XIsso(8) applications.

RESTRICTIONS
       You must have root privileges to modify system files with this applica‐
       tion.  If  dxaccounts  is run without root permission, you may view but
       not modify account information.

       In order to make changes to the NIS databases,  you  must  run  Account
       Manager on the machine designated as the NIS server.
