You did a CLEAN install on a blank destination disk? From the tape image that I gave you? I just did it that way.. How might I go about adding "users" in RSTS/E? $ CREATE/ACCOUNT (see "help create /account") Note: An "account" under RSTS/E can mean a "user account" that gets logged into, or just a "directory". That can be confusing. Just bear that in mind as you read. Originally, there wasn't any such thing as a directory (on the system disk, that is) that wasn't available for login. So it was called an "account". Somewhere around V8 or V9, the notion of a "no-user account" was added, which is somewhat like you find on Unix when the password is set to "*" -- you have a directory and possibly some other attributes like a name, but no password and no other user-related attributes like quotas, so you can't log in. There's "create/account" and "create/account/nouser". If you create an "account" on a non-system disk, it's no-user by default. Also, accounts with group number 0 -- like [0,200] -- are always no-user; group 0 is restricted that way. paul
