 Creates a login account.

 If you enter the subcommand only or the subcommand and the optional
 pname argument (principal name), rgy_edit prompts you for all
 information.  If you enter the subcommand, the pname argument, and
 the gname (group name) argument or the the pname, gname and oname
 (organization name) arguments, you must also enter the -mp, and -pw
 or -rp options.  All other options are optional.

 The pname argument specifies the principal for whom the account
 should be created. The -g and -o options specify the account's group
 and organization.  If the principal specified in pname is not
 already a member of the specified group and organization, rgy_edit
 automatically attempts to add the principal to the membership lists.
 If you do not have the appropriate permissions for the group and
 organization, the attempt will fail and the account will not be
 created.

 The -rp option generates a random password for the account. The
 primary use of this option is to create passwords for accounts that
 will not be logged into (since the random password can never be
 supplied.) The -pw option is used to supply a password for the
 account on the command line.

 If you use the -rp option or the -pw option, you must also use the
 -mp option to supply your password so your identity can be
 validated.

 If you do  not specify the -rp option or the -pw option, rgy_edit
 prompts for the account's password twice to ensure you did not make
 a typing mistake. Then it prompts for your password to verify your
 identity.

 If the user's password management policy allows the selection of
 generated passwords, specifying "*" as the argument to the -pw
 option or at the account's password prompt automatically generates
 a plaintext password.

 If the user's password management policy requires the selection of
 generated passwords, specifying the -pw option is an error.
 rgy_edit displays a generated password and then prompts for the
 password for confirmation.  The format of password must adhere to
 the policy of the associated organization or the policy of the
 registry as a whole, whichever is more restrictive.

 The information supplied with the -m option is used to create the
 GECOS field for the account in the /etc/passwd file [on UNIX].

 The -h option specifies the pathname of the principal's home
 directory.  The default homedir is /. The -s option specifies the
 pathname of the principal's login shell.  The default shell is a
 null string.

 The -pnv (password not valid) option specifies that the password
 has expired. Generally, users must change their passwords when the
 passwords expire. However, the policy to handle expired passwords
 and the mechanism by which users change their passwords are defined
 for each platform, usually through the login facility.  The -pv
 option indicates the password is not expired (the default).

 The -x option sets an expiration date for the account in
 yy/mm/dd/hh/mm/ss format. The default is "none," meaning that
 the password will never expire.

 The -anv (account not valid) option specifies that the account is
 not currently valid for login. The -av option indicates the account
 is currently valid (the default).

 The -enable and -disable options set or clear the following options:

  +  The c[lient] option, if enabled, allows the principal to act as
     a client and log in, acquire tickets, and be authenticated.  If
     you disable client, the principal cannot act as a client.  The
     default is enabled.

  +  The s[erver] option, if enabled, allows the principal to act as
     a server and engage in authenticated communication.  If you
     disable server, the principal cannot act as a server that
     engages in authenticated communication. The default is enabled.

  +  The po[stdated] option, if enabled, allows tickets with a start
     time some time in the future to be issued to the account's
     principal. The default is disabled.

  +  The f[orwardable] option, if enabled, allows a new ticket-
     granting ticket with a network address that differs from the
     present ticket-granting ticket address to be issued to the
     account's principal.  The default is enabled.

  +  The pr[oxiable] option, if enabled, allows a new ticket with a
     different network address than the present ticket to be issued
     to the account's principal.   The default is disabled.

  +  The T[GT_authentication] option, if enabled, specifies that
     tickets issued to the account's principal can use the ticket-
     granting-ticket authentication mechanism.  The default is
     enabled.

  +  The r[enewable] option turns on the Kerberos V5 renewable
     ticket feature. This feature is not currently used by the DCE;
     any use of this option is unsupported at the present time.

  +  The dup[_session_key] option allows tickets issued to the
     account's principal to have duplicate keys.  The default is
     disabled.

 The -gs (good since date) is the date and time the account was last
 known to be valid. When accounts are created, this date is set to
 the account creation time.  If you change the good since date, any
 tickets issued before the changed date are invalid.  Enter the date
 in yy/mm/dd.hh:mm format.

 The -mcr (maximum certificate renewable) option is the number of
 hours before a session with the principal's identity expires and
 the principal must log in again to reauthenticate. The default
 is 4 weeks.

 The -mcl (maximum certificate lifetime) option is the number of
 hours before the Authentication Service must renew a principal's
 service certificates.  This is handled automatically and requires
 no action on the part of the principal. The default is 1 day.
