Overview
The pts setmax command sets the value of one or both counters that track the IDs the Protection Server allocates to new users, machines, or groups: the "max user id" counter for the AFS user IDs (AFS UIDs) assigned to users and machines, and the "max group id" counter for the AFS group IDs (AFS GIDs) assigned to groups.
Use the pts listmax command to display the current value of both counters.
Options
-group<group max>-
Sets the
"max group id"counter. Precede the value with a hyphen to indicate that it is negative. When an administrator next uses theptscreategroupcommand to create a group entry and does not include that command's-idargument, the Protection Server assigns the group an AFS GID one less (more negative) than this value.
-user<user max>-
Sets the
"max user id"counter. When an administrator next uses theptscreateusercommand to create a user or machine entry and does not include that command's-idargument, the Protection Server assigns the group an AFS UID one greater than this value.
