ACCOUNTING
The ACCOUNTING option will allow the file server to charge users for their use of file server resources. Only high-end versions of Advanced NetWare will support accounting. The accounting option will allow you to complete the following tasks:
1) Install accounting on a file server that supports it (you must have
supervisor rights).
2) See what file server services are being charged for and the amount that
is being charged. If you have supervisor rights, you can change the services that are being charged for and the amount charged for each service.
3) See who is allowed to charge for file services. If you have supervisor
rights, you can specify who can charge for services. This allows
external objects such as print servers to charge users for services.

SUPERVISOR STATION RESTRICTION HELP
Station restrictions are enforced on the supervisor account. If you accidentally list invalid addresses in the list of addresses from which the supervisor is allowed to log in, the supervisor could never log in again. To help prevent you from making this mistake, SYSCON will check to see that you can at least log in from the station you are on right now.
Check the addresses you entered to make sure they are correct. If they are incorrect, delete the incorrect entries and re-enter them. If they are correct, but this station is not included, you must either delete all the entries or add this station temporarily. Then go to one of the stations you are going to allow the supervisor to log in from and correct the list.
Page 1 of 1
FULL NAME HELP
No full name has been defined for the selected user or group. (Only the supervisor can define a full name.)
Page 1 of 1

EXPLANATION OF LOGIN SCRIPT IDENTIFIERS
Identifiers are predefined symbols recognized by LOGIN. They represent textual information that is variable. For example, the identifier DAY_OF_WEEK represents the literal string "Monday,"
"Tuesday," or whatever the current day is.
Identifiers may be displayed (see WRITE command), or may be used in comparisons (see IF...THEN command).
The MEMBER OF identifier may only be used in comparisons. It has no test value. (IF (NOT) MEMBER OF GroupName THEN....)
Identifiers preceded by a percent (%) sign will be replaced by their corresponding text value. They may appear anywhere in the login script, like command-line parameters. Notice that identifiers MUST be in ALL CAPITALS.
See the following screen for a list of identifiers.

NO OTHER ACCOUNTING SERVERS HELP
In order for a server to be authorized to charge for its services, it must have an account on this file server that it logs into. SYSCON knows about server accounts for Job Servers, Gateways, Print Servers, Archive Servers, SNA Gateways, and Remote Bridges. There are no accounts for any of the servers that have not been given authorization to charge for their services.

MORE THAN 20 CHARGE CHANGES HELP
The method the file server uses to record the amounts being charged during various times of the day allows the charge rate to be changed a maximum of 20 times. One entry can change the rate to a new value for one or more days. For instance, one entry can change the charge for connection time to 1/30 at 8:00am on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It takes another entry to change the rate to 1/50 at 8:00am on Tuesday. Each time of the day that a rate change occurs uses at least one entry. More than one entry is needed if there is a change for more than one day and the charge rate is not the same.
Consolidate the rate changes you have made so they can be stored in 20 entries or less.
Page 1 of 1
MORE THAN 20 DISK CHARGE ENTRIES HELP
The method the file server uses to record when disk storage space should be charged for and the rate that should be used, allows the charge times and rates to be assigned a maximum of 20 times. One entry can charge a specific rate at a certain time on one or more days. For instance one entry can charge for 1/50 per block-day of disk storage space at 2:00am on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It takes another entry to charge the rate to 1/50 at 2:00am on Tuesday. Each time of the day that a change occurs uses at least one entry. It will use more than one entry if there is a different charge rate for the same time period on other days of the week.
Consolidate the times and rates that are being charged for disk storage so that they can be stored in 20 entries or less.

DEFAULT RESTRICTIONS HELP
LOW BALANCE LIMIT
If accounting is supported by the selected file
server and "Allow Unlimited Credit" is set to NO,
this field indicates the lowest balance the
user can have and still receive services that are
being charged for.
If the user's account balance drops below the low balance limit, the user will be denied any additional services that are being charged for.
Page 8 of 8
ACCOUNT BALANCE HELP
This form shows the user's current account balance and the user's credit limit. The account balance is the amount of funds the user currently has. Each time the user is charged for a service, his or her account balance is decreased.
The credit limit determines how low the user's account balance can drop before the user will no longer receive services that are being charged for. If the user is given unlimited credit, services will always be available. The account balance will only serve as an indicator of how much service the user is receiving. If the user has limited credit, the user will no longer receive services that are being charged for when the account balance falls below the specified credit limit.
A credit limit of 0 means the user cannot receive any further services when the account balance drops below zero. A negative credit limit means the user's account is allowed to go in the hole, until it reaches the credit limit. A positive credit limit means the user is required to keep the specified amount of funds in the account at all times.

If the user's account balance drops below the defined credit limit, the user will no longer receive services for which there is a charge.
Page 1 of 1
CREDIT LIMIT HELP
The credit limit specifies the lowest balance the user can have in an account balance and still receive services that are being charged for. If the credit limit is set to 0, the user will not be able to receive additional services when his account balance drops to zero. If the credit limit is set to a negative amount, the user is allowed to "charge" additional services after his account balance falls below zero, until the account balance reaches the credit limit. If the credit limit is a positive amount, the user will not be able to use all of his account balance, but will be required to have some minimum amount of funds in his account at all times.
Enter the credit limit for the user. When you are finished, press the SELECT key or the ESCAPE key.

INTRUDER DETECTION/LOCKOUT HELP
Intruder detection and lockout allows you to specify whether attempts to log in to the file server with invalid passwords will be detected and recorded. In addition, it allows you to optionally lock an account when an intruder is detected. Each entry is described below.
DETECT INTRUDERS
If this option is set to YES, the file server will
record repeated attempts to log in to an account with an
invalid password. If this option is set to NO, the file
server will not detect intruders.
Page 1 of 5
INTRUDER DETECTION/LOCKOUT HELP
INCORRECT LOGIN ATTEMPTS
This entry is used by the file server to determine when an
intruder is attempting to break into an account and when a user has mistyped the password. The file server tracks the number of incorrect login attempts that occur for each user account. It resets the number of incorrect logins for an account whenever the user successfully logs in to the file server or when the the "Bad Login Count Retention Time" has passed since the last bad login.
If the number of incorrect logins for a user reaches the number entered in the "Incorrect Logins Attempts" field, the file server will "detect" an intruder. When an intruder is detected, an entry is placed in the audit file and the file server error log file indicating the address of the intruder and the account he was attempting to log in to. In addition, the account the intruder was attempting to log in to can be locked.

INTRUDER DETECTION/LOCKOUT HELP
BAD LOGIN COUNT RETENTION TIME
This field indicates the amount of time, after an incorrect login
attempt, that must pass before the bad login attempt is
forgotten by the file server. Bad login attempts are immediately
forgotten if the user logs in successfully. Otherwise, the number
of bad login counts is remembered until it reaches the limit
specified in the "Incorrect Logins Attempts" field, or until the the "Bad Login Count Retention Time" has passed.

INTRUDER DETECTION/LOCKOUT HELP
LOCK ACCOUNT AFTER DETECTION
This field allows you to specify whether the file server should lock an account that an intruder is attempting to log in to. If this field is set to YES, the file server will lock the account when an
intruder is detected. In addition, it will generate a note in the audit file and in the system error log file. If this field is set to NO, a note indicating that an intruder was detected will be
generated, but the account will not be locked.
If an account is locked, no one can log in to the account for the length of time specified in the "Length of Account Lockout" field. This is intended to make it impossible to log in by trying to guess a password. The account can be unlocked before the specified time has passed by the network supervisor using SYSCON. In addition, you can unlock the network supervisor's account from the file server console by typing ENABLE LOGIN.

EDIT CHARGE MULTIPLIER HELP
Enter the number you want to use for the charge rate multiplier and then press the SELECT key.
If you do not want to change the number, press the ESCAPE key.
The charge rate multiplier is used in determining how much will be charged for usage of a resource as follows:
AmountUsed * Multiplier / Divisor = ChargeAmount
Normally the multiplier should be much smaller than the divisor since the AmountUsed is usually larger than the desired ChargeAmount. The amount that should be charged will depend on your particular setup and the value that you assign to each unit of money.

ENTER CHARGE RATE HELP
This form allows you to enter a new charge rate. A charge rate consists of a multiplier and a divisor that are used to change the amount of resource being used into a charge amount as follows.
AmountUsed * Multiplier / Divisor = ChargeAmount
Normally the amount of resource used is much larger than the amount that should be charged, so the amount entered for the divisor should be much larger than the amount entered for the multiplier. The amount that should be charged will depend on your particular setup and the value that you assign to each unit of money.

disk space as there is available. If this option is set to YES, the "Maximum Disk Space" field specifies the maximum amount of file server disk space that the user can use.
MAXIMUM DISK SPACE
If the "Limit Disk Space Option" is set to YES, this field
specifies the maximum amount of disk space the user can use. Since
disk space is allocated in blocks of 4K (4096 bytes), this field is
used to specify how many blocks a user can allocate. You must round the file's size up to the next 4K boundary when determining the amount of disk space it is using.

ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS HELP
ALLOW USER TO CHANGE PASSWORD
If this field is set to YES, the user can change the account's password.
If this field is set to NO, the user cannot change the account's password. In addition, SYSCON will not allow the user to edit the login script for the account. Only a user with supervisor privileges can change the password and edit the login script.
This option is intended for use with accounts that many people
will share, such as the GUEST account. On these types of accounts, a user who knows the password should not be able to change the password and lock other users out.

ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS HELP
REQUIRE PASSWORD
If this option is set to YES, the user is required to have a
password on the account. If this option is set to NO, the user is
not required to have a password. If the user is not required to
have a password, he or she can choose whether to have a password on the account. The "Require Password" option must be set to YES in order to require the user to change the password.
MINIMUM PASSWORD LENGTH
If the "Require Password" field is set to YES, this field indicates the minimum length of the required password. This length can be between 1 and 20 characters.

ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS HELP
FORCE PERIODIC PASSWORD CHANGES
If the "Require Password" field is set to YES, and the "Allow User
To Change Password" field is set to YES, the field indicating whether or not the user is required to change the password at regular intervals will appear.
If this field is set to YES, the user's password will expire
periodically and the user will be asked to change the password. If this field is set to NO, the user's password will never expire.
DAYS BETWEEN FORCED CHANGES
If the "Force Periodic Password Changes" field is set to YES, it will indicate the number of days the user can use a password before the password expires.

ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS HELP
DATE PASSWORD EXPIRES
If the "Force Periodic Password Changes" field is set to YES, it will indicate when the user's password will expire.
After this date is past, each time the user logs in to the file server, the file server will inform the user that the password has expired. In addition, if the "Limit Grace Logins" field is set to YES, the file server will not allow a user to log in if the expired password has not been changed within the specified number of grace logins.
Each time the user changes the password, the file server will set the
next password expiration date automatically. If the network supervisor changes a user's password, the file server will mark the password as expired, forcing the user to select a new password (except in the case where the user is not allowed to change the password).

ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS HELP
LIMIT GRACE LOGINS
If the "Force Periodic Password Changes" field is set to YES, this field indicates whether the user is forced to change the password,
or whether an expired password is simply a reminder to change to a new password. If this field is set to YES, the user has a limited
number of chances to change the password. If the user does not
change the password within the specified limit, he or she will no longer be able to log in. If this field is set to NO, the user will not be required to change the password when it expires.
GRACE LOGINS ALLOWED
If the "Limit Grace Logins" field is set to YES, this field
indicates the number of chances the user gets to change the password
when it is expired. If the user does not change the password within
the specified number of logins, he or she will not be allowed to
log in.

ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS HELP
REMAINING GRACE LOGINS
If the "Limit Grace Logins" field is set to YES, this field shows the remaining number of times the user can log in using an expired password. When this number reaches zero, the user will not be allowed to log in again until the network supervisor gives the user more grace logins, or changes the password expiration date so that the password is not expired. This field is automatically reset to the value in "Grace Logins Allowed" each time the password is changed.

ACCOUNT RESTRICTIONS HELP
REQUIRE UNIQUE PASSWORDS
If the "Require Password" field is set to YES, this
field indicates whether the user should be forced to use
a different password each time the password is changed.
If this option is set to NO, the user can change the
password to any password, even one that was previously used. If this option is set to YES, the user will not be allowed to change the password to one that was previously used.

LIMIT DISK SPACE
This option will appear only if the disk limitation option was selected during the file server installation. If this field is set to NO, the user can use all the disk space available. If this option is set to YES, the "Maximum DIsk Space" field specifies the maximum amount of disk space the user can use on the file server.
MAXIMUM DISK SPACE
If the "Limit Disk Space" option is set to YES, this field
specifies the maximum amount of disk space the user can use. Since

LENGTH OF ACCOUNT LOCKOUT HELP
The "Length of Account Lockout" field is used to specify how long an account should be locked after an intruder is detected. The intent of locking an account is to make it extremely difficult for an intruder to guess a password.
Enter the days, hours, and minutes that an account should remain locked after an intruder is detected trying to break into the account. When you have finished, press the SELECT key or the ESCAPE key.
If you have made changes to this field and do not want to save the changes, press the CANCEL key and then the ESCAPE key.

ACCOUNT BALANCE HELP
This form shows the user's current account balance and the user's credit limit. The account balance is the amount of funds that the user currently has. Each time the user is charged for a service, his account balance is decreased.
The credit limit determines how low the user's account balance can drop before that user will no longer receive services that are being charged for. If given unlimited credit, the user will always be given services and the account balance will only serve as an indicator of how much service the user is receiving. If the user has limited credit, he or she will no longer receive services that are being charged for when the account balance falls below the specified credit limit.
A credit limit of 0 means the user cannot receive any further services when the account balance drops below zero. A negative credit limit means the user's account is allowed to go in the hole, until it reaches the credit limit. A positive credit limit means the user is required to keep the specified amount of funds in his account at all times.
