<title>Description</title>
|
|
<para>The <replaceable>UserList</replaceable> file lists the AFS usernames of the system administrators
|
|
authorized to issue privileged <emphasis role="bold">bos</emphasis>, <emphasis role="bold">vos</emphasis>, and <emphasis role="bold">backup</emphasis> commands that
|
|
affect the local server machine or the volumes housed on it. It must
|
|
reside in the <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc</replaceable> directory on every server machine.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Although the <replaceable>UserList</replaceable> file is in ASCII format, do not use a text editor
|
|
to alter it. Instead always use the appropriate commands from the <emphasis role="bold">bos</emphasis>
|
|
command suite:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">bos adduser</emphasis> command to add a user to the file.</para>
|
|
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">bos listusers</emphasis> command to display the contents of the file.</para>
|
|
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>The <emphasis role="bold">bos removeuser</emphasis> command to remove a user from the file.</para>
|
|
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
<para>Although it is theoretically possible to list different administrators in
|
|
the <replaceable>UserList</replaceable> 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 <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc</replaceable>
|
|
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.</para>
