My problem concerned a memory fault when trying to use XIsso on Tru64 4.0e
(original posting at end of summary)
All three respondants suggested using dxaccounts with two suggesting that XIsso
is retired under version 4.0e.
Unfortunately my problem was more to do with why the memory fault, rather than
how to get around enabling a user, which I was able to do via a script. The
reason may be that it has been retired as suggested, but I am able to use XIsso
on other systems running the same version.
I will avoid using XIsso in future, but would still like any suggestions on the
memory fault, and implications, if anybody has anything to add. I will further
summarise if more info comes in.

Managers, et-al,
After scanning some 300 archived messages from the list with no success, I bring
my problem to you.
I am running an Alphastation 400 4/233 which I have just upgraded from 3.2C
through the path to 4.0e with patches, firmware is at 6.9. Everything ran
smoothly until a user asked me to unlock his disabled account. I used the XIsso
utility (having read lots of archived messages I gather this is not a highly
desirable option), the utility appeared to start O.K., but when I selected the
users name from the list in the accounts menu, the process terminated with the
following message:
Stack overflow: pid 1585, proc XIsso, addr 0x11fdfffd0, pc 0x3ff80692c58
Memory fault(coredump)
I retried the process with the same results but also noticed on startup:
Warning:
Name: HelpCntxtSensPB
Class: XmPushButton
Illegal mnemonic character; Could not convert X KEYSYM to a keycode

I am 6 months into my experience with Tru64-unix so am not quite into
deciphering core dumps yet.
I have an alternative method to enable the users account, but am concerned
about the memory fault. I can find no logs with any mention of the error and it
is not recorded by uerf. Can anyone shed some light on this please.
