Having restored SENTRY from tape and installed the software, you are ready to proceed with this section.
SENTRY is installed as a directory named sentry; this directory is also setup as a standard database
account. To access SENTRY you must be “in” the sentry account – that is, sentry must be your present
working directory. To reach sentry from the UNIX prompt, use the UNIX “cd” command followed by
the command to invoke your database environment (e.g. “uv”, “udt” or “piopen”). To reach sentry
from TCL in another account use the TCL “LOGTO” command.
Since SENTRY is a security product, it won’t allow just any user to use it to modify your system! Only
users whose UNIX UID is 0 (zero) will be permitted to enter SENTRY. Users with the UID of 0 are
referred to as “super users” because they have the power to do nearly anything on the system. The
standard user “root” is an example of a “super user”. The passwords to super user logins should be
carefully protected!
