=head1 NAME
bos setcellname - Sets the cell's name in the /usr/afs/etc/ThisCell and
B</usr/afs/etc/CellServDB> files
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<bos setcellname -server> <I<machine name>> -name <I<cell name>>
[B<-cell> <I<cell name>>] [B<-noauth>] [B<-localauth>] [B<-help>]
B<bos setc -s> <I<machine name>> B<-n> <I<cell name>> [B<-c> <I<cell name>>] [B<-n>] [B<-l>] [-h]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The bos setcellname command establishes the cell's name and
makes the server machine named by the B<-server> argument a member of
it, by recording the value of the B<-name> argument in two files which
it creates on the local disk:
=over 4
=item *
/usr/afs/etc/ThisCell
=item *
/usr/afs/etc/CellServDB. The cell name appears on the
first line in the file, preceded by the required C<>> symbol.
The machine name specified with the B<-server> argument appears on the
second line along with its IP address as obtained from the cell's naming
service. The machine is thus designated as the cell's first
database server machine.
=back
=head1 CAVEATS
Issue this command only when the installing the cell's first AFS
server machine. The I<IBM AFS Quick Beginnings> explains how to
copy over the B<ThisCell> and B<CellServDB> files from this or
another appropriate machine during installation of additional server
machines.
Be sure to choose a satisfactory cell name when issuing this command,
because changing a cell's name is very complicated; for one thing,
it requires changing every password in the Authentication Database.
Consult the I<IBM AFS Administration Guide> for advice on choosing a
cell name. If changing the cell's name is absolutely necessary,
contact AFS Product Support for complete instructions.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item -server
>
Indicates the server machine on which to set the cell name in the
B<ThisCell> and B<CellServDB> file. It is always the
first machine installed in a cell. Identify the machine by IP address
or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously).
For details, see the introductory reference page for the B<bos>
command suite.
=item -name
>
Defines the cell name, using standard Internet domain name format (the
actual domain name is usually appropriate). Examples are
B<abc.com> for the ABC Corporation and
B<stateu.edu> for the State University. It must match
the value of the B<-cell> argument, if that is provided.
=item -cell
>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see the
introductory B<bos> reference page.
=item -noauth
>
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the
issuer. Do not combine this flag with the B<-localauth>
flag. For more details, see the introductory B<bos> reference
page.
=item -localauth
>
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
B</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<bos> command
interpreter presents the ticket to the BOS Server during mutual
authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> or
B<-noauth> options. For more details, see the introductory
B<bos> reference page.
=item -help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
=back
=head1 EXAMPLES
The following command defines the cell name abc.com in
the B<ThisCell> and B<CellServDB> files on the machine
B<fs1.abc.com> as it is installed as the cell's
first server machine.
% bos setcellname -server fs1.abc.com -name abc.com
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
Authorization checking is normally turned off during installation, which is
the only recommended time to use this command; in this case no privilege
is required. If authorization checking is turned on, the issuer must be
listed in the B</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the machine named by
the B<-server> argument, or must be logged in as the local superuser
B<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is included.
