The six selections on this menu invoke data entry programs used to update the SENTRY database, file
system permissions, the UNIX passwd and group files as well as SENTRY’s Database Command
Protection and User Defined Item Protection. Notice that we have used the word “Database” here.

actual SENTRY menu will replace the word “Database” with the name of the database which is in use on
your system.
