Name
       dxuam - graphical account management program

Syntax
       dxuam  [ options ]

Description
       The command invokes the User Account Manager (UAM) application.	UAM simplifies account management by providing a graphical interface where
       you enter account information in text entry fields and specify information by clicking on buttons and selecting items in list  boxes.   You
       can also manage accounts by using templates, predefining new account information, and predefining actions taken when you remove an account.
       The command only supports the BSD level of security.

       Because UAM is an X Window System application, your DISPLAY environmental variable must be set to a machine that is an X Server.  For  more
       information, see

       For  each  UAM  account management session, UAM creates a log file that records the account changes that have succeeded and those that have
       failed.	The log file is named .uam_log, and it is located in the default log directory HOME.

Options
       -bd color	   Specifies the color of the window's border (color displays only).  The default is specified by  means  of  the  Session
			   Manager's Customize Window dialog box.

       -bg color	   Specifies the color of the window's background (color displays only).  The default is specified by means of the Session

       -d dispname	   Specifies the display screen on which the UAM window is displayed.  The default display screen  is  specified  by  your
			   DISPLAY environment variable.  The display option has the format hostname:number.  Using two colons (::) instead of one
			   (:) indicates that DECnet is to be used for transport.  The default is :0.  For more information, see

			   values.  The geometry option has the format [widthxlength][{+-}x{+-}y].  For more information about the screen  coordi-
			   nate system, see

       -p filename	   Specifies  that  the  filename be used as the profile file.	The default is ~/.uam_profile.	The profile file specifies

Help Menu

X Defaults
       The command uses the values in the .Xdefaults file when you logged in and uses the appropriate resource specification values  to  customize
       the appearance of the UAM window.  The format for a resource specification in the .Xdefaults file is:

		      [name*]resource:	value

       name	 Specifies the application name or the name string that restricts the resource assignment to that application or to a component of
		 an application.  If this argument is not specified, the resource assignment is globally available to all X applications.

       resource  Specifies the resource.

       value	 Specifies the value that is to be assigned to the resource.

       Because each toolkit-based application can consist of a combination of widgets (for example, push buttons and a scroll bar), you  can  form
       the  name  string  by  adding widget class and name identifiers to the string.  For further information about adding class and name identi-
       fiers, see

       For the available application class identifier is Uam.

       For the available name identifiers are:

       UAM		   The application name.

       Each specification included for the translations resource in the .Xdefaults file modifies a key setting for the editor that uses.  For more
       information about key and mouse specifications in the .Xdefaults file, see
