1 SETNAME
  Allows you to change your logon name to any valid name that is not
  currently in use.  Names may consist of up to 8 letters or digits,
  starting with a letter.  You may choose a name up to 12 characters
  long, but 8 is recommended for compatability with the non-VAX sys-
  tems.  Your account name may also be used (see the /RESET section)
  but again it's not recommended.  You may also change your personal
  name with this utility (see the /PERSONAL section).
 
  Format:
 
    SETNAME
 
  Notes: Although changing your root directory is an optional funct-
  ion (see the /DIRECTORY section), it's changed automatically under
  certain circumbstances.  These are explained in the Usage section.
  Once your logon name has been modified, you will no longer be able
  to receive messages or mail destined  for your previous logon name
  (or reference your files via your previous directory name, if your
  root directory was changed).  Be aware that you'll have to wait at
  least 5 calendar days before you can change your logon name again.
  THIS PROCEDURE IS IRREVERSIBLE.  Please read through the following
  help text thoroughly before using SETNAME.
 
2 Mail
 
  If you had set your forwarding address for mail messages  destined
  for the "generic" address:
 
      <logon>@U.WASHINGTON.EDU
 
  where <logon> is your currently active logon name to:
 
      <logon>@<system>.U.WASHINGTON.EDU
 
  where <system> is the name of this system the address will be mod-
  ified to use your new logon name.  Mail destined for the old logon
  name will be discarded.  If the <logon>@U mail was being forwarded
  someplace else, the address would not be changed.
 
2 Examples
 
  1)   $ SETNAME
       Password: HONCHO
       New logon name: JOESEPHBLOW
 
  In response to this SETNAME command, the system will  prompt you for
  your password.  Enter  your password after  the prompt (the password
  will not  appear on the screen).  This ensures  that no one else can
  change your logon name without proper authorization.  Next, you will
  be  prompted for a new name.  Enter the desired logon name after the
  prompt. Only letters and digits are allowed, starting with a letter.
  No special characters or embedded blanks are accepted.  The new name
  may be up to 12 characters long - but 8 is the recommended limit for
  compatability with the non-VAX systems.
 
       Change logon name to JOESEPHBLOW? [YES]:
 
  If the password is valid and if the logon name conforms to the above
  rules, and it is not currently in use, then you will be prompted for
  confirmation.   If you really want to make this change, enter either
  "YES" or a carriage return.  If you do not want to make this change,
  enter "NO".  Upon confirmation, your logon name will be changed imm-
  ediately.  VMS MAIL messages sent to your account name will be forw-
  arded (automatically) to your logon
 
  If the /DIRECTORY qualifier was specified, or if you are required to
  change your root directory as well, the following prompt will appear
  instead.
 
       Change logon/directory name to JOESEPHBLOW? [YES]:
 
  Upon confirmation, your logon and root directory name will be chang-
  ed immediately.  During this phase, a message will be displayed  for
  for each system being modified,
 
    Root directory has been set to DISK$A:[JOESEPHBLOW] on MAX
    Root directory has been set to DISK$A:[JOESEPHBLOW] on MAVEN
    Root directory has been set to DISK$A:[JOESEPHBLOW] on VAX1
    Log off the system - see documentation
 
  If your root directory was DISK$A:[FOOBARS] for example, it would be
  renamed to DISK$A:[JOESEPHBLOW] on each  system you  have an account
  which is also merged to this one. Type ACCMERGE/LIST to see which of
  your accounts are merged.  Make sure that each merged system has the
  root directory set.  If not, or an "operation incomplete" message is
  issued, notify the system  manager immediately.  Be sure to  log off
  and back on before using the system.
 
  2)   $ SETNAME/RESET/DIRECTORY
       Password: HONCHO
       Reset logon/directory name to 12345678? [YES]:
 
  In this case, the new name is not prompted for, since the logon name
  will be set to your account name.  All that's required is your pass-
  word for validation.   Mail sent to JOESEPHBLOW will be discarded in
  this case, and your root directory will be set to DISK$A:[12345678],
  if one of the cases outlined in the Usage section is met. Be sure to
  log off and back on before using the system.
 
  3)   $ SETNAME/PERSONAL
       New personal name: Joeseph Blow
 
  In response to this SETNAME command, the system will  prompt you for
  your new name.  Enter the desired personal name.  It may be up to 32
  characters in length. Please refrain from using obscene or otherwise
  questionable words.  You'll then be prompted for confirmation.
 
       Change personal name to "Joeseph Blow"? [YES]:
 
  If you really want to make this change, enter either "YES" or a car-
  riage return.  If you do not want to make this change, enter a "NO".
  Upon confirmation, your personal name will be changed.
 
2 Usage
 
  Note that the SETNAME utility changes the name that you use to login
  under, your "username."  It is this name that you enter in after the
  "Username:" prompt during login.  DO NOT FORGET YOUR NEW NAME IF YOU
  CHANGE IT.  IF YOU DO, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LOG BACK IN.  In this
  case, the System Manager can reset your username so that you may log
  in again.
 
  If so desired, or if required to do so, SETNAME will change you root
  (or main) directory name  to match your new  logon name.  This could
  affect programs which open up files in your directory tree either by
  you or other people - so they must be modified to reference your new
  root.  YOU CANNOT CHANGE BACK TO YOUR "OLD" DIRECTORY NAME, SO THINK
  CAREFULLY BEFORE USING SETNAME.  It is your responsibility to remem-
  ber your previous directory (and/or logon) names.  If you forget and
  need to have your files restored or whatever,  it could be extremely
  difficult, if not impossible to find them.
 
  A change to your root directory name will be required under the fol-
  lowing circumbstances.  SETNAME will automatically make the changes,
  regardless of whether the /DIRECTORY qualifier was specified.
 
    o If you have only one account on the VAXCluster, or if none of
      your accounts are merged together.
 
    o If, after changing your logon name, your root directory  name
      doesn't match any of your current logon name(s).
 
  In essence it means that a directory name must be associated with an
  existing logon name. (For accounts which have the old letter-letter-
  digit-digit directory names, your directory name will not be changed
  unless the /DIRECTORY qualifier is specified.)  For example, if your
  logon name was  ROBERT and your root  directory was DISK$A:[ROBERT],
  and you decided to set your name to BOB, then if the logon name ROB-
  ERT no longer  existed on any  VAXCluster system your root directory
  would be changed to [BOB].
 
       VAX1::ROBERT      MAX::BOB        MAVEN::BOBBY
                   \        |          /
                    \       |         /
                     \      |        /
                      DISK$A:[ROBERT]
 
  If however, your name was BOBBY and you wanted to be BOB, unless you
  specified the /DIRECTORY qualifier your root directory wouldn't have
  to change - since the logon name ROBERT still existed on one system.
  Type ACCMERGE/LIST to see which of your accounts are merged.
 
  Also, be aware that changing your logon name will affect the receiv-
  ing of mail and other messages.  Once you've change your logon name,
  your old name no longer exists on the system.  Any messages destined
  for your old name will be discarded.  This includes VAX/VMS MAIL and
  BITNET messages as well as correspondence sent through BITNET.  Mail
  messages sent to your account name will be forwarded (automatically)
  to your new logon name.  It's your responsibility to inform all par-
  ties concerned as to your name changes.
 
  Finally note that once you've changed your logon name you'll have to
  to wait at least 5 days before you can change it again.  Choose your
  name wisely - you'll be "stuck" with it for a while.  Please refrain
  from using obscene or otherwise questionable words or phrases.
 
  Do not use the SETNAME program if you are using secondary passwords.
  If you do, you will not be able to log back in again.
 
  After your logon/directory name has been changed log off and back on
  before using the system so your computing environment can be reset.
 
2 Qualifiers
 
/DIRECTORY
 
  /DIRECTORY
 
  Directs SETNAME to change your root directory to  match your new
  logon name on all systems you have an account which is also mer-
  ged to this one.  Type the command ACCMERGE/LIST to see which of
  your accounts are merged.
 
/LOG
 
  /LOG     (D)
  /NOLOG
 
  Controls whether the SETNAME command displays the new logon name
  and mail forwarding information, or new personal name upon comp-
  letion.
 
/PERSONAL
 
  /PERSONAL
 
  Allows you to change your personal name to anything you want inc-
  luding nicknames or whatever.  Your personal name's inserted into
  the headers of mail messages you send out and displayed by anyone
  using the FINGER utility to find out who you are.
 
/RESET
 
  /RESET
 
  Resets your logon name to your account name.  In most cases, your
  account name is your ASUW student number  or an encrypted form of
  your Social Security number.  The logon name is not prompted for.
  Mail messages destined for your previous logon name will be rend-
  ered undeliverable.  Using the account name as your logon name is
  not recommended, since most non-VAX systems do not allow names to
  begin with a number.
 
/SHOW
 
  /SHOW
 
  Displays your current personal name.  This qualifier must be used
  in conjunction with the /PERSONAL qualifier.
