Description

The rgy_edit tool views and edits information in the registry database. You can invoke rgy_edit from any node.

Note
With the exception of the following subcommands, this command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command. This command may be fully replaced by the dcecp command in a future release of DCE, and may no longer be supported at that time.

· quit

· scope

· view

You can edit and view principals, groups, organization, accounts, and policies in the network registry (the default) or perform a subset of those functions on the local registry (using the -l option). Changes made by rgy_edit apply only to the registry. They do not apply to the local override file or the local password and group files, both of which can be edited manually. You can view and change only those registry objects to which you are granted the appropriate permissions.

Invoking rgy_edit
When you invoke rgy_edit, it displays the following prompt:

rgy_edit=>

At this prompt, you can enter any rgy_edit subcommand, and rgy_edit prompts you for the required information. Alternatively, you can enter the subcommand followed by all the options required to perform a specific operation. The rgy_edit command may prompt you for any required information you do not enter.

Subcommands Syntax
In the rgy_edit subcommands described in the following topics, use two double quotation marks with nothing in between to indicate a null fullname, password, misc, homedir, or shell. Use double quotation marks to embed spaces, or hyphens in fullname, misc, and homedir if you specify the argument on the command line.
