This completes the initial editing pass of the section eight man pages. Only small amounts of content editing has been done. Some known problems have been noted in README, but there will doubtless be others, as well as some lingering formatting problems. However, the quality should now be good enough for general public review. Some of the section eight man pages were really supposed to be section one, the package apropros and package help commands are too useless to document, and a few of the difficult-to-name section five man pages have now acquired names.

=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
uss - Introduction to the uss command suite
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The commands in the B<uss> command suite help administrators to create AFS
|
|
user accounts more easily and efficiently. If B<uss> commands are not
|
|
used, creating an account requires issuing at least six separate commands
|
|
to five different AFS servers.
|
|
|
|
There are three main commands in the suite:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
The B<uss add> command creates a single complete user account, based on
|
|
command line arguments and instructions in a template file.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
The B<uss bulk> command creates multiple complete accounts at once, based
|
|
on command line arguments, instructions in a template file and a bulk
|
|
input file.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
The B<uss delete> command removes most parts of a user account.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
To obtain help, issue the B<uss apropos> and B<uss help> commands.
|
|
|
|
=head1 OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
The following arguments and flags are available on many commands in the
|
|
B<uss> suite. The reference page for each command also lists them, but
|
|
they are described here in greater detail.
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item B<-admin> <I<administrator to authenticate>>
|
|
|
|
Specifies the AFS user name under which to establish a connection to the
|
|
AFS server processes that administer the various parts of a user
|
|
account. If it is omitted, the connection is established under the
|
|
issuer's effective user ID (his or her identity in the local file
|
|
system). Even when this argument is included, UNIX commands that run
|
|
during the B<uss> operation (for instance, the UNIX F</etc/chown> command)
|
|
run under the effective user ID.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-cell> <I<cell name>>
|
|
|
|
Names the cell in which to run the command. It is acceptable to abbreviate
|
|
the cell name to the shortest form that distinguishes it from the other
|
|
entries in the F</usr/vice/etc/CellServDB> file on the local machine. If
|
|
the B<-cell> argument is omitted, the command interpreter determines the
|
|
name of the local cell by reading the following in order:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
The value of the AFSCELL environment variable.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
The local F</usr/vice/etc/ThisCell> file.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=item B<-dryrun>
|
|
|
|
Reports actions that the command interpreter needs to perform when
|
|
executing the B<uss> operation, without actually performing them. Include
|
|
this flag to verify that the command produces the desired account
|
|
configuration. Combine it with the B<-verbose> flag to yield even more
|
|
detailed information. Note that the output does not necessarily reveal all
|
|
possible problems that can prevent successful execution of the command,
|
|
especially those that result from transient server or network outages.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-help>
|
|
|
|
Prints a command's online help message on the standard output stream. Do
|
|
not combine this flag with any of the command's other options; when it is
|
|
provided, the command interpreter ignores all other options, and only
|
|
prints the help message.
|
|
|
|
=item B<-skipauth>
|
|
|
|
Bypasses mutual authentication with the AFS Authentication Server,
|
|
allowing a site that uses Kerberos instead of the AFS Authentication
|
|
Server to substitute that form of authentication.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
|
|
|
|
The issuer of a B<uss> command must have all the rights required for
|
|
performing the equivalent actions individually. See each B<uss> command's
|
|
reference page.
