using these toolboxes, use the following commands after creating the new Linux user account
for them:
$ mxuser –a username –d "Manager Account" –p none
$ mxauth –a –u username –R "Insight Control for Linux Manage" –n "*"
For information on creating administrator accounts, that is, non-root accounts with the privileges
required to access and use HP SIM, see the HP Insight Control for Linux Installation Guide.
