3.1. Account Management 
With the account management of the HiPath 4000 Assistant the following
functions are possible:
Change the Password of an Account
To change the password of an account logon via SecM (a so-called ASbum
account). But you can also use the following command:
# /opt/bum/bin/bum_passwd account new_password
|
account
|
name of the account

IMPORTANT:
It is recommended to surround "new_password"
by single or double quotes to avoid the shell being confused by some
special characters.
