What the INFO ALIAS Display Tells You

What the INFO ALIAS Display Tells You

An INFO ALIAS display contains most of the same attributes as an INFO USER
display. However, the values can differ from those of the underlying user ID.

The INFO ALIAS display for J-Brown shows that the alias expires on September 30,
2005, and that the Safeguard software audits all attempted actions by the alias
J-Brown. The display also shows that there are no special requirements for changing
the alias password.

Safeguard default protection is not defined for this alias. Therefore, the default
Guardian security string "NUNU" is applied to disk files that J-Brown creates.

The last logon time and failed logon count are also important for aliases. For example,
if LAST-LOGON for J-Brown does not match the last time you logged on as J-Brown,
someone else might have learned the alias password and logged on as J-Brown.

The INFO ALIAS display also shows the creation time of the alias, the name, type,
user ID, and node number of the creator.

Note. The TEXT-DESCRIPTION attribute is supported only on systems running G06.27 and
later G-series RVUs and H06.06 and later H-series RVUs.

The CREATION-TIME, CREATOR-USER-NAME, CREATOR-USER-TYPE and CREATOR-
NODENUMBER attributes are supported only on systems running J06.04 and later J-series
RVUs, H06.15 and later H-series RVUs, and G06.32 and later G-series RVUs.
