<P><STRONG>Purpose</STRONG>
<P>Allows or disallows running of setuid programs from specified cells
<P><STRONG>Synopsis</STRONG>

</PRE>
<P><STRONG>Description</STRONG>
<P>The <B>fs setcell</B> command sets whether the Cache Manager allows
programs (and other executable files) from each cell named by the
<B>-cell</B> argument to run with setuid permission. By default,
the Cache Manager allows programs from its home cell to run with setuid
permission, but not programs from any foreign cells. A program belongs
to the same cell as the file server machine that houses the volume in which
the program's binary file resides, as specified in the file server
machine's <B>/usr/afs/etc/ThisCell</B> file. The Cache Manager
determines its own home cell by reading the <B>/usr/vice/etc/ThisCell</B>
file at initialization.
<P>To enable programs from each specified cell to run with setuid permission,
include the <B>-suid</B> flag. To prohibit programs from running
with setuid permission, include the <B>-nosuid</B> flag, or omit both
flags.
<P>The <B>fs setcell</B> command directly alters a cell's setuid
status as recorded in kernel memory, so rebooting the machine is
unnecessary. However, non-default settings do not persist across
reboots of the machine unless the appropriate <B>fs setcell</B> command
appears in the machine's AFS initialization file.
<P>To display a cell's setuid status, issue the <B>fs
getcellstatus</B> command.
<P><STRONG>Cautions</STRONG>
<P>AFS does not recognize effective UID: if a setuid program accesses
AFS files and directories, it does so using the current AFS identity of the
AFS user who initialized the program, not of the program's owner.
Only the local file system recognizes effective UID.
<P>Only members of the <B>system:administrators</B> group can turn
on the setuid mode bit on an AFS file or directory.
<P>When the setuid mode bit is turned on, the UNIX <B>ls -l</B> command
displays the third user mode bit as an <TT>s</TT> instead of an
<TT>x</TT>. However, the <TT>s</TT> does not appear on an AFS file
or directory unless setuid permission is enabled for the cell in which the
file resides.
<P><STRONG>Options</STRONG>
<DL>
<P><DT><B>-cell
</B><DD>Names each cell for which to set setuid status. Provide the fully
qualified domain name, or a shortened form that disambiguates it from the
other cells listed in the local <B>/usr/vice/etc/CellServDB</B>
file.
<P><DT><B>-suid
</B><DD>Allows programs from each specified cell to run with setuid
privilege. Provide it or the <B>-nosuid</B> flag, or omit both
flags to disallow programs from running with setuid privilege.
<P><DT><B>-nosuid
</B><DD>Prevents programs from each specified cell from running with setuid
privilege. Provide it or the <B>-suid</B> flag, or omit both flags
to disallow programs form running with setuid privilege.
<P><DT><B>-help
</B><DD>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
</DL>
<P><STRONG>Examples</STRONG>
<P>The following command enables executable files from the State University
cell to run with setuid privilege on the local machine:
<PRE> % <B>fs setcell -cell stateu.edu -suid</B>
</PRE>
<P><STRONG>Privilege Required</STRONG>
<P>The issuer must be logged in as the local superuser <B>root</B>.
