UserList - Defines privileged administrators
The
UserList file lists the AFS usernames of the system administrators
authorized to issue privileged
bos,
vos, and
backup
commands that affect the local server machine or the volumes housed on it. It
must reside in the
/etc/openafs/server directory on every server
machine.
Although the
UserList file is in ASCII format, do not use a text editor
to alter it. Instead always use the appropriate commands from the
bos
command suite:
- •
- The bos adduser command to add a user to the
file.
- •
- The bos listusers command to display the contents of
the file.
- •
- The bos removeuser command to remove a user from the
file.
Although it is theoretically possible to list different administrators in the
UserList files on different server machines, doing so can cause
unanticipated authorization failures and is not recommended. In cells that use
the Update Server to distribute the contents of the
/etc/openafs/server
directory, it is customary to edit only the copy of the file stored on the
system control machine. Otherwise, edit the file on each server machine
individually.
