I think I suggested the following:

1. :restore *t;;directory (note two consecutive semi-colons)

This restores all directories - including 1 system directory, posix
directories, and any volume set directories you may have. THIS STEP
RESTORES NO OTHER FILES.

2. :restore *t;@[log in to unmask]@;show=offline;keep;olddate;create

This restores all other files. If you are sure you do not want any files
restored to your non-system volume sets, you can simply VSCLOSE
uservolumesetname prior to 2 or 1 above, and ignore the many lines of error
messages which will accompany each file not restored. may be better to
simply exclude those filesets. That way, the only legitamate FILES NOT
RESTORED would be those that already exist. Any other reason should be
cuase for concern.

After completion of step 2, you will have all your UDC's in place the NEXT
time you log on. To get your networking back, you will need to first
perform a START NORECOVERY.

This method is far easier and less error-prone than using BULDACCT to
unnecessarily rebuild your directory.

In fact the only time I would use BULDACCT is if I did not have a directory
available on a store tape, or if I was moving acounts/groups to or from
non-system volume sets.
