Purpose

Displays all user or group entries in the Protection Database

Synopsis

pts listentries [-users]  [-groups]  [-cell <cell name>]
                [-noauth]  [-force]  [-help]
   
pts liste [-u]  [-g]  [-c <cell name>]  [-n]  [-f]  [-h]

Description

The pts listentries command displays the name and AFS ID of all Protection Database entries of the indicated type. It also displays the AFS ID of each entry's owner and creator.

To display all user and machine entries, either include the -users flag or omit both it and the -groups flag. To display all group entries, include the -groups flag. To display all entries, provide both flags.

Options

-users: Displays user and machine entries.
-groups: Displays group entries.
-cell: Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see the introductory pts reference page.
-noauth: Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see the introductory pts reference page.
-force: Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the first error.
-help: Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

Output

The output includes a line for each entry, with information in four columns that have the following headers:

Name: The entry's name
ID: The entry's AFS ID (AFS UID for a user or machine, negative AFS GID for a group)
Owner: The AFS ID of the user or group that owns the entry
Creator: The AFS ID of the user who created the entry (the system:administrators group is listed as the creator of the entry for anonymous and the system groups, but it is not otherwise possible for a group to create groups)

In general, the entries appear in the order in which they were created.

Examples

The following example displays both user and group entries.

   % pts listentries -users -groups
