Super User Tips

• PROBLEM: Users receive "Serious write error to disk" upon boot in upper left corner--In the autoexec.bat file, change smartdrv.exe to smartdrv.exe c

  PROBLEM: Computer will not boot with Message:"Ironclad Security Violation, System Halted."--This means a virus has infected the boot sector of the had disk. Security Software--Ironclad included--can not protect the boot sector because the software uses that area.

  To correct the problem, reboot from the Ironclad backup diskette for that computer. Type Activate and choose Deactivate Ironclad (this will restore the machines boot sector. Reboot the computer and reactivate Ironclad by type Activate and choose Activate.

User Tips

PROBLEM:I need to add a new application. How do I prevent Ironlclad from purging the new directory? Log in as superuser and add the application. Go into iconfig (cd \ironclad, iconfig) and choose /Quick/Add Subdirectory. Type the name of the subdirectory and press Enter. Exit Ironclad and answer yes to save database.

If you just need to add files to an existing directory, first log in as superuser and force housecleaning (to get rid of any user garbage). Then copy the files to the c:drive. Go into Ironclad as above and choose /File/Disk/Rescan Drive. Exit and save as above.

• PROBLEM: I need to have different users with different read/write rights. The Ironclad setup comes defaulted to two users, superuser and public user. If you need to have different users, you need to run inconfig and make changes. Choose /Quick/Create User from the main screen. Give the user an easy to remember name (case sensitive). This will become the user id. The user will be asked for a password the first time that id attempts to log in to Ironclad so you should reboot as soon as you finish the settings and assign a password.

  Choose /Profiles/Directory while the new user is highlighted and set all permissions for this user. Then select public user and choose /Profiles/Directory and DENY rights to public user.

  If you wish to allow both public and the new user rights to the same directory BUT you wish to change File rights choose you may assign rights at the file level as well.
