Viewing User Traits from the Console
From the console, use the list u-v command to get user trait information. The console will
display a verbose list of user accounts.
To get information about a single user, follow the command with the User ID of the specific
user. For instance, if you wanted to access the user account, danielmi, the command would
look like this:
NRCS-A$ list u-v danielmi
The verbose result of the command will look something like this:
user rr kb su m l SOEKCVH sc queues
danielmi 180 0 n i -OEKCVH sc dest: PEOPLE.D.DANIELMI.NOTES
home: PEOPLE.D.DANIELMI
mail: PEOPLE.D.DANIELMI.MAIL
NRCS-A$
The first line of the display lists the traits; the other lines list specific values for the traits.
The following is the interpretation of the sample command results previuosly displayed:
• User danielmi has a read rate (rr) of 180.
• The keyboard preference (kb) is 0.
• The user is a superuser (su). The n means “news superuser.” A minus (-) would appear if
the user is not a superuser.
• The edit mode (m) is insert.
• The local only mode (l) is non-local only.
• The traits indicated by SOEKCVH and sc are explained in the “User Traits Console
Command Summary” on page 268. See also “list u” on page 144.
• The users destination queue is PEOPLE.D.DANIELMI.NOTES.
• The users home directory is PEOPLE.D.DANIELMI.
• The users mail queue is PEOPLE.D.DANIELMI.MAIL.
“User Traits Console Command Summary” on page 268 shows user traits, their console
abbreviations, and detailed information about them.
