 When the system starts for the first time, it is locked for any state change request other than account creation@footnote{Specifically, the @code{INIT}, @code{SEND} and @code{QUEUE} lock bits are set.}. These locks should be @emph{reset} once system initialization has been completed. Currently, system initialization only involves creating and tagging required system accounts, as specified below.
 
 See @ref{cic-eth-locking,Locking} and @ref{cic-eth-tools-ctrl,ctrl in Tools} for details on locking.
