|
|
|
The F<UserList> file lists the AFS usernames of the system administrators
|
|
|
|
authorized to issue privileged B<bos>, B<vos>, and B<backup> commands that
|
|
|
|
affect the local server machine or the volumes housed on it. It must
|
|
|
|
reside in the F</usr/afs/etc> directory on every server machine.

|
|
|
Although the F<UserList> file is in ASCII format, do not use a text editor
|
|
|
|
to alter it. Instead always use the appropriate commands from the B<bos>
|
|
|
|
command suite:

Although it is theoretically possible to list different administrators in
|
2005-12-14 01:30:20 +00:00
|
|
|
the F<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 F</usr/afs/etc>
|
|
|
|
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.
