The easiest way to add passwords is to use a spreadsheet program. In the
spreadsheet program, insert a column after the column of Internet aliases. By
saving the file as a tab-delimited text file, the spreadsheet program
automatically adds two tab characters for any users for whom you didn’t add
a password.

When passwords are added, the format of the file is as follows:

User name Internet alias Password Comment E-mail attributes

The following information applies to each field:

m

User name. This field is mandatory. Its maximum length is 31 characters.

m

Internet alias. This field is optional. The maximum length is 31 characters.

m

Password. This field is optional. The maximum length is 8 characters.

m

Comment. This field is optional. The maximum length is 194 characters.

m

E-mail attributes. This field is optional.

Here is a sample record:

by a tab character. The content of the e-mail attributes field can be one of the
following keywords:

m

The keyword “HasMail” is required to enable mail for the user.

is required to supply an encrypted password when it logs on to the
