Beginning with SR 5.0, you can no longer log onto the DNCS or RNCS servers 
directly as the dncs user.  Instead, you must create individual user accounts for each 
user that will access these servers. 
In this section you will create a default user account named ciscousr on the DNCS 
and RNCS, as well as user accounts directed by the customer. 
Important:  Before creating a ciscousr account, you must first gain permission from 
the site. This user account will be used by Cisco personnel, post upgrade, to access 
the system should the site require assistance. The site will maintain control of the 
user password and should change the password temporarily each time Cisco 
assistance is requested. After Cisco assistance is no longer needed for the particular 
issue, the site should reset the password.
