Users and Groups->
Accounts for Users and Groups-> (version
10)
2. From the Users and Groups screen, select Users. Then,
select the Actions drop-down menu. Select Add
to add a user.
sam displays an Add a User Account screen. Supply the following
information at the screen prompts, as shown below and in the
remaining steps:
Login Name: omnidex
User Identity (UID): (press [Return] for the default)
Home directory: /users/omnidex
You can press [Tab] to advance from one field to the next.
The Home directory can be any path you choose. If you are
updating an existing Omnidex installation, you can install
and test the new Omnidex software in another directory before
using it in a production environment. For example, if you
were upgrading to Omnidex version 3.8, you might use omni308.
Remember what path you assign, because you will be asked to
supply it later, in Step 2. Additionally, for HP-UX version
10, you must check Create Home Directory if this directory
does not already exist. To check and uncheck this item, tab
over to it, then press [Enter].
3. You must add a new group, omnidex, to your user groups.
To do so, when you get to the [ Primary Group Name...] prompt,
tab over to the field that contains the default group name
and enter omnidex.
[ Primary Group Name... ] omnidex
Note that when you specify the new group, omnidex, a confirmation
window appears that asks if you want to create the group.
Choose [ Yes ] to create the new group.
4. For the start-up program, specify the Korn shell. Tab
over to the field that contains the start-up program name
and enter /bin/ksh, as shown below.
[ Start-up Program... ] /usr/bin/ksh
5. Finally, tab over to [ OK ] and press [Enter] to create
the new user.
Sam prompts you twice for a password. Enter a password like
omnidex. You’ll need this password to log into the Omnidex
software directory later, in Step
3.
6. Exit sam by pressing [f6] then
[f8] for version 9, [f8]
twice for version 10.
