You can also assign a password to each account on each disk. This provides limited security by making it

more difficult for someone who doesn’t know the password to log into the account. See Chapter 5 for

how to assign passwords. Please see the

AMOS User’s Guide

for more information on disk accounts,

passwords, and other AMOS security measures.

You can list the accounts on any device using the PPN command. Type

PPN

and the name of the device

you want the list for, and press

RETURN

. For example, to see all the accounts on DSK0:, type:

PPN DSK0:

RETURN

You can also see a list of all the files in any account by using the DIR (short for

directory

) command. To

see a list of the files in the account you are currently in, type:

DIR/W

RETURN

While you can use DIR to list the files from any account, you must usually log into in an account to

access the files in it, as described later in this chapter.

Now that you have a general idea of what disk accounts are and how to use them, you can decide how

you want to organize your own files into accounts. If you want to create more accounts on your hard

disk, see Chapter 5.

You can find more information on the PPN and DIR commands in the

System Commands Reference

Manual

LOGGING ON

People accessing the AM-6060 using networking and terminal emulation software from their

PCs may have to use a command (or click an icon) to connect to the AM-6060, and enter

information about the type of connection they want, before logging on as described here.

The LOG command both identifies you to the computer and lets you choose what disk account you want

to access. When you first log on to the computer—either after logging off or after booting the system—

you must tell the computer who you are and what account you want to use. You can do this by entering

the disk account you want. For example:

LOG [25,1]

RETURN

LOG now asks for your user name. Type it and press

RETURN

You can also enter your user name instead of an account number in the LOG command. This logs you

into the root account defined when your user name was set up. For example:

LOG CARRIE SMITH

RETURN

This logs you into Carrie Smith's root account.

You can assign passwords to disk accounts and user names. If the account or user name you enter

has a password, AMOS asks you for the password before logging you in.
