USRobotics NETServer/16, NETServer/8 manual Add a User to the User Table

User Table

The User Table defines users who dial in to the local network to become virtual nodes or to establish login sessions with local hosts.

How to . . .

Add a User to the User Table

The user name can be up to 8 characters long, and the password can be up to 15 characters long. Both user name and user password are case-sensitive. You cannot have both a login user and a network user with exactly the same user name. For example, a login user and a network user cannot both have the name Bob. However, A login user Bob and a Network user BOB are allowable because their case difference makes them different names altogether.

Login users connect to an IP host via a login service like Telnet or Rlogin. To add a login user to the User Table, use the follow- ing command:

add user <user name> password <password>

Network users attach to an IP or IPX network using SLIP or PPP. To add a network user to the User Table, use the following command:

add netuser <user name> password <password>

Note that you need only use the netuser command option when adding a network user. When setting parameters for a network user, set user and set netuser will both work .
