Notes

  • To enable a user account, set a password on it (or use the "... nopassword" command to enable it with no password required for login)

  • Removing a user account does not terminate any current sessions that user has open; it just prevents new sessions from being established

  • Encrypted password is useful for the "show configuration" command, since the cleartext password cannot be recovered after it is set
