Having restored SENTRY from tape and installed the software, you are ready to proceed with this section. SENTRY is installed as a directory named sentry; this directory is also setup as a standard database account. To access SENTRY you must be “in” the sentry account – that is, sentry must be your present working directory. To reach sentry from the UNIX prompt, use the UNIX “cd” command followed by the command to invoke your database environment (e.g. “uv”, “udt” or “piopen”). To reach sentry from TCL in another account use the TCL “LOGTO” command.

Since SENTRY is a security product, it won’t allow just any user to use it to modify your system! Only users whose UNIX UID is 0 (zero) will be permitted to enter SENTRY. Users with the UID of 0 are referred to as “super users” because they have the power to do nearly anything on the system. The standard user “root” is an example of a “super user”. The passwords to super user logins should be carefully protected!
