To read more on the startup file, see the + section on Information, files and useful programs. + + + To unregister a user use unset/register and to show the list of + registered users, use the command show/register. + + + 7.2. Passwords + + At the moment, passwords only affect users who login to a DXSpider + cluster node via telnet. If a user requires a password, they can + either set it themselves or have the sysop enter it for them by using + the set/password command. Any users who already have passwords, such + as remote sysops, will be asked for their passwords automatically by + the cluster. Using passwords in this way means that the user has a + choice on whether to have a password or not. To force the use of + passwords at login, issue the command ... + + + + set/var $main::passwdreq = 1 + + at the cluster prompt.
