login managing users and user information
The primary tool for managing user information is login(tools) , which includes the ability to login as a different user, create (and become) a new user, and change the password for the current user. In addition, you can change the settings for the user-authentication requirements when the system is resuming after a resume (not a reboot).
The login
function allows you to login as one of the registered
users.
You must choose a username and provide the associated password.
After the login is complete, the user is set to the
user who just logged in.
The newuser
function allows you to create a new user/password
combination.
Upon completing the newuser function, the user is set to the
newly created user.
The passwd
function allows you to change the password for
the current user. After the password change is complete, the user
remains the same.
The default setting is to always require users to authenticate when the system resumes. You can change the setting to require authentication once daily on resume, or never to require authentication on resume.
The master user (see users(shell) ) can remove users by using the rmuser(shell) command.
If you create a single user with no password, you will not be bothered by any login dialogs at startup. However, if you create another user, the login dialog will appear.
Use the
SavaJe
flash utility to delete all user information
from your flash and start over again.
To do this, you need to delete the params
sector from the
flash.
See
flash_util(doc)
for information on using the utility
Now, when you start, you'll go through the startup procedure again, including recalibrating the touchscreen, reinstalling your license token, and creating the initial user.
