Dear Managers,
We are here install Digital Internet AlphaServer
Administration (IIAS v.3) software to add users
to the system.

Sometimes we have to disable the account by
enter one or two characters in the password
field of that account at /etc/passwd file using
vi/emacs.

This works on other system like LINUX but not
with Digital UNIX 4.0. I would like to know
from you how to disable the account for few
days, or do i need to do anything after editing
the /etc/passwd file. For your information I am
not using enhanced security.

Looking for your kind reply.

TIA
