                     32:        This can be as terse or as verbose as necessary, given the

                     34: users

                     38: Every user on your system who is going to use INGRES \must/ be
                     39: included in the "users" file.  This file looks much like the
                     40: /etc/passwd file, with fields separated by colons, etc.  The
                     41: first, third, and fourth fields are the login name, user id,
                     42: and group ids respectively, exactly like the /etc/passwd file.
                     43: The second field is that user's internal code, which is always
                     44: exactly two printable characters.  There is also an octal field
                     45: that describes capabilities; the principle capability is the
                     46: 000001 bit which allows that person to create databases.
                     47: 
                     48: Users that are not entered into the users file WILL NOT be
                     49: able to use INGRES.
                     50: 
                     51: This file can be set up for everyone on your system by using
                     52: the "usersetup" command.
