The Nickname File
Optionally, a nickname file may be used to assign sessions to users and to help provide
password security. Differently formatted entries may be used to provide resource assignment,
User ID/password security, and resource security.
The nickname file (nickname.sys) is an ASCII text file, and can be created on a PC using any
text editor. The Visara eManager product also may be used to create, manage, and distribute
the nickname.sys file. The name of the file must be nickname.sys, and no other file name will
be recognized by LINCS. The file must be present in the system directory on the LINCS hard
drive, or on a floppy present in the floppy drive at boot time. The file is read only at boot time,
or when the utility /3/5 is run. Note that you can only run the /3/5 utility if the file already
exists, and the new file should not exceed the original file size (read at boot time) by more
than 20%.
