bos_adduser

NAME

bos_adduser - Adds a privileged user to the UserList file

SYNOPSIS

bos adduser -server <machine name> -user < user names>+
[ -cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [ -help] bos addu -s <machine name> -u < user names>+
[ -c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

The bos adduser command adds each user name specified with the -user argument to the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine named by the -server argument. It is the issuer's responsibility to verify that an entry for the user exists in the Authentication and Protection Databases.

OPTIONS

-server <machine name>

Indicates the server machine on which to change the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8). In cells that use the Update Server to distribute the contents of the /etc/openafs/server directory, it is conventional to specify only the system control machine as a value for the -server argument. Otherwise, repeat the command for each file server machine. For further discussion, see bos(8).

-user <user names>+

Specifies each user name to insert into the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file.

-cell <cell name>

Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).

-noauth

Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).

-localauth

Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile or /etc/openafs/server/KeyFileExt file. The bos command interpreter presents the ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see bos(8).

-help

Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES

The following command adds the user names "pat" and "smith" to the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine "fs1.example.com" (the system control machine).

   % bos adduser -server fs1.example.com -user pat smith

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine named by the -server argument, or must be logged onto a server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included.
