Notes about PANDA account management system. There is a hardcoded machine table at BLTSPC. It's generally sufficient to share the ML configuration: ret ] + came x,[sixbit /MACHIN/] camn x,[sixbit /ML/] ;is it ML? jrst [move x,[mlspec,,tsspec] ;yes, so use ML's specs The PANDA interface requires you to know a system password (which is more obsucity than security). It further requires you to be logged in. (If you are not logged in it will terminate without any warning after your entered the password.) To generate a new system password password, load panda, set a breakpoint, run it, enter a password and read the computed checksum: :CWD SYSBIN PNDGEN$J :LOAD PANDA BIN TTYHAK+7$B $G The program will stop after your hit enter. The checksum can be found out using the T[ command. To patch in your new password, enter SPWORD/ and after it shows you the current checksum deposit the new one by entering the number you let it compute before (hit enter after the last digit). To make the changes permanent you should dump a new binary, afterwards feel free to kill the specimen: $Y PANDA BIN :KILL You probably want to change the PWORD source appropriately to make your new password survive the next assembly. --rtc
