Usage notes

  • The LOGCTL command adds, deletes, or changes group entries in the password table. If add (A) or change (C) is specified, Model 204 prompts for information as shown in the dialog below.

    The system manager can change any of the following specifications in a group entry:

    • Password
    • Privileges
    • User class
    • Field level security levels
    • Terminal list
  • Upon entry of the LOGCTL command, the system responds with a prompt in the following form:

    *** M204.0374: ENTER FILE/GROUP PASSWORD, PRIVILEGES, CLASS, SELECT, READ, UPDATE,
    ADD password, X'pppp', ccc, sss, rrr, uuu, aaa

    Where:

    password The user's password (1 to 8 characters). It cannot contain blanks, commas, or colons.
    pppp The two-byte representation of the group privileges. (See PRIVDEF: Default user privileges.)
    ccc The procedure user class.
    sss The field-level security SELECT level.
    rrr The field-level security READ level.
    uuu The field-level security UPDATE level.
    aaa The field-level security ADD level.

    When a group entry is being added, the password is required and all other specifications are optional. Model 204 supplies default values of zero.

    When a group entry is being changed, all specifications are optional. If the system manager does not supply a specification in the command, the existing specification in the password table is preserved, as described for login user IDs.

    Note: While the LOGCTL command is being processed, any attempts to log in fail.
