  • 1.  Controlling your users

    Posted 03-17-2024 10:19

    I have a client who started their business on R83 and are now on D3 Linux. All of their USERS were created long before D3 and by my former partner. In every account on this particular system, regardless of where you are, a CTRL-BREAK re-executes the MD item - BASIC or PROC - when you type END from the debugger. I reached out to Rocket support and was unable to get a solution, so I poked around in my old reliable R83 manual and found that if Attribute 9 in the USERS item is set to R, that's exactly what will happen. If it's set to L, then END leaves the user at TCL.

    The moral? Never trash your old manuals.

    It's still in the current manual: D3 Reference Manual 10.3.4

    System Files -> users file :)

    Nice catches. For the record, I was the idiot at Rocket who had no clue.

    Setting attribute 7 in the users file (privledge level) to SYS0 will prevent them from changing anything while in debug.

    With the system login used by D3, system administrators can log in using one ID with full privledges and normal users with a different and restricted ID. Both ID's accessing the same  account.
