CKUSERS.NLM Installation Instructions Background : CKUSERS is a netware loadable module (NLM) written to detect inactive users on one or more fileservers. Depending on the command line options given CKUSERS will either simply provide a listing of users who appear to be inactive or provide a listing and disable the inactive accounts. Either way the reports generated should be reviewed daily to determine if the indicated accounts are truely inactive or if there is a valid reason for their inactivity. In some systems user accounts are set up on all company servers even though the user may only routinely access one or two of the servers. For this reason all indicated servers are checked for activity. If activity is found on any of the servers the account is assumed to be active. Installation : Copy the following files to the SYS:SYSTEM directory. CKUSERS.NLM Netware Loadable Module CKUSERS.CFG Configuration file CKUSERS.PAS Password file Using filer grant full trustee rights to the CKUSERS.PAS file to the user SUPERVISOR. This gives any user with supervisor equivalence rights to read and write to the password file. Next place an Inherited Rights Mask (IRM) on the CKUSERS.PAS file of Supervisor. The inherited rights mask determines which rights granted at the directory level pass through to the CKUSERS.PAS file. By removing all rights except Supervisor all users not explicitly granted rights to the file are locked out of the file. Earlier in this step we granted the user SUPERVISOR and equivalents explicit rights to this file. This coupled with the IRM enable only supervisor and equivalents access to this file. Depending on the backup software you use the backup user may need to be granted rights to this file as well. If any additional servers will be monitored a user must be created on that server for access to the bindery. The user must be named CKUSERS and must be supervisor equivalent. The user should have a password. The password must be recorded in the CKUSERS.PAS file above. This can be done using any standard text editor such as EDIT in DOS or NOTEPAD in Windows. A CKUSERS account is not needed on the default fileserver however the CKUSERS.PAS file is needed. It can however be empty if not other fileservers will be monitored. Configuration : The following is the CKUSERS.CFG file shipped with CKUSERS.NLM. DAYS = 30 REPORT = SYS:CKUSERS.REP SERVER = CS_DEV_2 ;SERVER = CS_DEV_312 USER = chip DAYS = REPORT = SERVER = USER = < Users to ignore inactivity on > Supervisor is ignored by default ; Comment Password : The Password is recorded in plain ASCII text in the CKUSERS.PAS file. The password must also be updated on each additional server to be monitored. Use SYSCON or SETPASS to change the password on the additional servers. Failure to synchronize these passwords will cause the NLM to abort unable to login to a fileserver.
