Hello,
I suppose I have made a mistake... I'm trying to create a normal
account. Thus, I have made :
$ define/system/trans=(concealed)/exec disk$users dka0:[users.]
$ set default disk$users:[000000]
$ create /directory bertrand
$ set default sys$system
$ run authorize
UAF> add bertrand/password=mypassword /device=disk$users -
_UAF> /directory=[bertrand] /owner="BERTRAND Joel" /nopwdexpired -
_UAF> /nopwdexpiration
Besides the comments of others downt-thread, please
note that you *never* assigned a UIC for the new account.
1) When you use ADD in Authorize, and *omitted* fields
are filled in with those from the DEFAULT account (which
is one reason the new account got Flags: DISUSER,
by the way).
2) Best practice is to give every account a unique UIC.
There are exceptions, but I seem to recall that Authorize
gives a warning message when you do that.
Since you didn't specify a UIC, the new account got the
DEFAULT account's UIC, [200,200]:
UAF> show bertrand
Username: BERTRAND Owner: BERTRAND Joel
Account: UIC: [200,200] ([DEFAULT])
CLI: DCL Tables: DCLTABLES
Default: DISK$USERS:[BERTRAND]
LGICMD:
Flags: DisUser
And that led to the other problem. Any files created by
the new account will be owned by [200,200], which is
associated with the identifier DEFAULT. There is not
UIC identifier for BERTRAND, and therefore, you can't
for example, $ CREATE/DIRE/OWNER=BERTRAND ...
The upshot is that most of your problems would have
been avoided if you 1) used /UIC=[ggg,uuu] on the ADD
command in Authorize, and 2) if you simply make a
habit of adding /Flags=NoDisuser, knowing that the
DEFAULT account *has* Flags: Disuser. Oh, also
note that the group "ggg" and user "uuu" fields in a
UIC are in *octal* notation: after user "7" comes
user "10", etc.
The other recommendations, for example, create
the user's login directory *after* the account, are
all good ones.
