Overview
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
-serverargument. 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
-localauthflag. For more details, see bos(8).
-
-noauth -
Assigns the unprivileged identity
"anonymous"to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the-localauthflag. 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
boscommand interpreter presents the ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the-cellor-noauthoptions. 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 smithPrivilege 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.
