Figure 36 - This is an example of the System Profile Report which displays various UNIX and SENTRY configuration parameters.

The following paragraphs describe each field on this report.

Null Passwords Allowed - The default for this field is “N”. When set to “N”o, each user must have a password. If this field is set to “Y”es, a user’s password may be blank, so that the user may login without using a password and simply <RETURN> at the password prompt. For good security, passwords should be mandatory. This field controls the data entry program for creating new users. When creating a new user through the SENTRY data entry programs you will be REQUIRED to enter a password for the user or allow SENTRY to generate one for you if this field is set to “N”. This is not a UNIX parameter. It is used only by SENTRY. This field accepts the values “Y” or “N”.
