 Commands for the Local Registry

 To edit or view the local registry, invoke rgy_edit with the -l option
 while you are logged into the machine whose local registry you want to
 maintain.  This section lists the commands that are valid for editing
 or viewing the local registry.  When you invoke rgy_edit with the -l
 option, only the subcommands and options listed here can be used.

1  –  view

 v[iew]

 Displays local registry entries.

2  –  delete

 del[ete] principal_name

 Deletes the account and credential information for principal_name
 from the local registry.

3  –  purge

 pu[rge]

 Purges expired local registry entries.

 This command has no options or arguments.

 The time limit, or lifespan, for which an entry in the local
 registry is valid is set as a property of the local registry
 with the properties subcommand.  When the purge subcommand is
 run, it deletes all expired entries.  The lifespan begins when
 an entry for the principal is added to the local registry (that
 is, the beginning of the lifespan is the last time the principal
 logged in to the local machine.) The lifespan ends after the time
 limit set as a local registry property.

4  –  properties

 pr[operties]

 Changes and/or displays local registry properties and policies.

 This command displays the current properties and then prompts for
 whether you want to make changes to them.  You can change the local
 registry's:

  +  Capacity - A number representing the total number of entries
     the local registry can contain at any one time. When the
     capacity is reached, subsequent new entries overwrite the
     oldest entries.

  +  Account lifespan - The time in which an account in the local
     registry is valid in the following format:

         weekswdaysdhourshminutesm

     For example, 4 weeks and 5 days is entered as 4w5d.  If you
     enter only a number and no weeks, days, or hours designation,
     the designation defaults to hours.  If you end the lifepan
     with a number and no weeks, days, or hours designation, the
     number with no designation defaults to seconds.  For example,
     12w30 is assumed to be 12 weeks thirty seconds.
