B.1 Building a Common SYSUAF.DAT File
Table B–1 (Cont.) Building a Common SYSUAF.DAT File
Step Action
4 Merge the SYSUAF.DAT files from the other computers to the master SYSUAF.DAT by
running the Convert utility (CONVERT) on the computer that owns the master SYSUAF.DAT.
(See the OpenVMS Record Management Utilities Reference Manual for a description of
CONVERT.) To use CONVERT to merge the files, each SYSUAF.DAT file must be accessible
to the computer that is running CONVERT.
Syntax: To merge the UAFs into the master SYSUAF.DAT file, specify the CONVERT
command in the following format:
CONVERT SYSUAF1,SYSUAF2,...SYSUAFn MASTER_SYSUAF
Note that if a given user name appears in more than one source file, only the first occurrence
of that name appears in the merged file.
Example: The following command sequence example creates a new SYSUAF.DAT file from
the combined contents of the two input files:
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
$ CONVERT/MERGE [SYS1.SYSEXE]SYSUAF.DAT, -
_$ [SYS2.SYSEXE]SYSUAF.DAT SYSUAF.DAT
The CONVERT command in this example adds the records from the files
[SYS1.SYSEXE]SYSUAF.DAT and [SYS2.SYSEXE]SYSUAF.DAT to the file SYSUAF.DAT
on the local computer.
After you run CONVERT, you have a master SYSUAF.DAT that contains records from the
other SYSUAF.DAT files.
5 Use AUTHORIZE to modify the accounts in the master SYSUAF.DAT according to the
changes you marked on the initial listings of the SYSUAF.DAT files from each computer.
6 Place the master SYSUAF.DAT file in SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE].
7 Remove all node-specific SYSUAF.DAT files.
B.2 Merging RIGHTSLIST.DAT Files
If you need to merge RIGHTSLIST.DAT files, you can use a command sequence
like the following:
$ ACTIVE_RIGHTSLIST = F$PARSE("RIGHTSLIST","SYS$SYSTEM:.DAT")
$ CONVERT/SHARE/STAT ’ACTIVE_RIGHTSLIST’ RIGHTSLIST.NEW
$ CONVERT/MERGE/STAT/EXCEPTION=RIGHTSLIST_DUPLICATES.DAT -
_$ [SYS1.SYSEXE]RIGHTSLIST.DAT, [SYS2.SYSEXE]RIGHTSLIST.DAT RIGHTSLIST.NEW
$ DUMP/RECORD RIGHTSLIST_DUPLICATES.DAT
$ CONVERT/NOSORT/FAST/STAT RIGHTSLIST.NEW ’ACTIVE_RIGHTSLIST’
The commands in this example add the RIGHTSLIST.DAT files from two
OpenVMS Cluster computers to the master RIGHTSLIST.DAT file in the current
default directory. For detailed information about creating and maintaining
RIGHTSLIST.DAT files, see the security guide for your system.
