        Yea, it sounds more like you want to have a User password on all the users
but this one, almost.

        How will the user access the account, via a specific terminal (like a
nailed public access terminal)?  If they use a specific workstation you
could create a logon script that supplies the account password and then
secure that script file so they can't read it.

Thanx,

Alan-

Why have an account password if you don't want to use it?

Hi Folks

I'm sure someone must have wanted to do this and found a cleaver way to
do it. Any help greatly appreciated.

On an external HP3000 I have an Account with an Account password.

I would like to be able to set up a logon user in that account such that
they don't need to know the account password.

I'm quite happy to set up a group for them to log into, and to have a
logon udc that can do whatever is required, I'm even happy for the user
to have a password, I just don't want to give them the account password.


And no I won't be able to install any third party security software on
the machine, so I have to be able to do it via MPE/iX 7.0 commands,
UDC's etc or a program residing in that account.

Any thoughts?
