Changing the command prompt
If you have more than one NETServer and want to differentiate
between them, you can change the Command> prompt you see
when you connect to the !root account. The prompt can be up to
20 characters long and must be enclosed in double quotes (“”).
Use the following command:
set prompt “<prompt message>
!root Access
This command allows the administrator to disable !root login
through ports s1 to s16. If this parameter is set to off, the !root
account may be accessed only through the external serial port
(s0) or a Telnet session on an existing network connection. The
default is on, which allows !root access through all S-ports.
