       There is a verb in AIPS called PASSWORD - enter it and answer
the questions.  I do not know if it is necessary to change the
password.  You should probably use user numbers > 1, assigning them
to people/projects as you see fit.  You will then not need to use the
aips manager (user 1) password much at all.

      When you need information about a subject, try the verb apropos
inside aips.  For example:
>aprop passw
AIPS 1: PASSWORD   ** categorie VERB POPS
AIPS 1:    Verb to change the current password for the login user

Usually this means that the account does not have the needed
permissions on the "device" file /dev/st0 in this case.
