The usernames/passwords/privs are stored in a file called ACCESS.TSX.
The information is stored in a lightly encrypted form (no MD5 here) and
is most conveniently accessed by running TSAUTH. Many system managers
take the TSX+ manual's recommendation and remove TSAUTH.SAV from the system
disk, keeping it on a floppy for when it is necessary.
