Controlling User Access

Adding Users to the System
The display shows:
ADMIN.BOB should change his password immediately to insure its security. Therefore,
on June 17, ADMIN.BOB uses the command interpreter PASSWORD program to
change his password:
1> PASSWORD BigChill
ADMIN.MANAGER could have used the PASSWORD-EXPIRES attribute to force
ADMIN.BOB to change his password immediately. For an example of the use of this
attribute, see Forcing Immediate Expiration of a User’s Password on page 2-22.
