.TH ACCOUNTS 5 .SH NAME accounts \- mcp accounts file .SH DESCRIPTION .I Accounts is a data file used by the .I mcp(l) program to store user specific information. In some places information in .I accounts overlaps information in .B /etc/passwd. This is done for clarity. .PP .I Accounts contains for each user the following information: .sp login name .br real name .br unique ID string (e.g. Social Security Number) .br numerical user ID (corresponds to .B /etc/passwd) .br numerical group ID (corresponds to .B /etc/passwd) .br list of groups .br list of classes .br list of sigs (Special Interest Groups) .br list of aliases .PP Information is stored one line per user. Fields are separated by colons and list members are comma separated. All fields must be present, however the list fields may be empty. .SH SEE ALSO .I mcp(l), passwd(5) .SH BUGS Probably should have used .I dbx(3X) but at present it lacks the flexibility of stdio (i.e. multiple databases open simultaneously). This has been remedied in 4.3BSD by the .I ndbm(3X) faciclities but using these would not be backward compatible.
