Managing Users

Example: Configuring LOCK

The following example shows how to enable LOCK on the access server, while disabling LOCK on ports 5 through 7:

Local> CHANGE SERVER LOCK ENABLED

Local> CHANGE PORT 5-7 LOCK DISABLED

Since anyone can LOCK any terminal, the LOCK facility can cause inconvenience in a situation where there are irresponsible users. If a user forgets the LOCK password, you have to log out the port with the LOGOUT command before the port can be used again. However, the LOGOUT command disconnects all sessions on that port. In that case, it may be best to disable LOCK on that port and rely on users to protect their sessions by disconnecting them when they must leave the terminal unattended.

Displaying Information About the Users

You can use the SHOW/MONITOR USERS command to do the following:

∙Determine which ports are in use at any time.

∙Identify the port users.

∙Display information about active port users.

Example: SHOW USERS Display

The following example shows how to generate a users display. The display contains one line of information for each port that is logged in to the access server:

Local> SHOW USERS
