Tru64 (OSF) - Server Setup Guide

Step 1: Create the Software Environment

To add the user omnidex and to restore the Omnidex software, you must log in as the root user. Obtain the password for the root user if you do not already know it, and enter it at the password prompt.

login: root
Password:password

1. Use the adduser command to add a user named omnidex to the system. You must log in as omnidex when setting up the software.

The installation software is configured to look for the user omnidex, to load the software into the /usr/omnidex parent directory, and to use the korn shell from the path /bin/ksh. Please answer all prompts as shown below:

Enter a login name for the new user
(for example, John): omnidex
Enter a UID for (omnidex) [30]: [Return]
Enter a full name for (omnidex): Omnidex
Enter a login group for (omnidex) [users]: [Return]

Enter another group that (omnidex) should be a member of. (<Return> only if none): [Return]

Enter a parent directory for (omnidex) [/usr/users]: /usr
The shells are:

/usr/bin/sh /usr/bin/ksh /bin/csh
/bin/ksh /usr/bin/csh /bin/sh

Enter a login shell for (omnidex)
[/bin/sh]: /bin/ksh

After you enter information for the user omnidex, adduser tells you that it is adding the new user.

3. Then, adduser prompts you for omnidex’s password.

You must enter a new password for (omnidex).
