Russ Allbery e3dfba8e6c man-page-conversion-20051208
This is the initial conversion of the AFS Adminstrators Reference into POD
for use as man pages.  The man pages are now generated via pod2man from
regen.sh so that only those working from CVS have to have pod2man
available.  The Makefile only installs.  The pages have also been sorted
out into pod1, pod5, and pod8 directories, making conversion to the right
section of man page easier without maintaining a separate list and allowing
for names to be duplicated between pod5 and pod1 or pod8 (which will likely
be needed in a few cases).

This reconversion is done with a new script based on work by Chas Williams.
In some cases, the output is worse than the previous POD pages, but this is
a more comprehensive conversion.

This is only the first step, and this initial conversion has various
problems.  In addition, the file man pages that didn't have simple names
have not been converted in this pass and will be added later.  Some of the
man pages have syntax problems and all of them have formatting errors.  The
next editing pass, coming shortly, will clean up most of the remaining
mess.

=head1 NAME
pts delete - Deletes a Protection Database entry
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<pts delete -nameorid> <I<user or group name or id>>+ [-cell <I<cell name>>]
[B<-noauth>] [B<-force>] [B<-help>]
B<pts d -na> <I<user or group name or id>>+ [B<-c> <I<cell name>>] [B<-no>] [B<-f>] [-h]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The pts delete command removes each entry specified by the
B<-nameorid> argument from the Protection Database. Deleting
entries affects other parts of the system in various ways:
=over 4
=item *
Deleted users and groups still appear on access control lists (ACLs), but
are listed by AFS UID or GID rather than by name, because there is no longer
an associated name to which to translate the ID. To remove these
obsolete entries from ACLs, use the B<fs cleanacl> command.
=item *
Deleting a user or machine's entry removes it from the membership
list of any group to which it belonged.
=item *
Deleting a group entry removes it from the membership list of any user or
machine entry that belonged to the group, and also increments the
group-creation quota of the group's creator by one, even if the creator
no longer owns the group.
=back
To remove a user or machine from a group without actually deleting the
entry, use the B<pts removeuser> command.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item -nameorid
Specifies the name or AFS UID of each user, the name or AFS GID of each
group, or the IP address (complete or wildcard-style) or AFS UID of each
machine entry to delete. It is acceptable to mix users, machines, and
groups on the same command line, as well as names (IP addresses for machines)
and IDs. Precede the GID of each group with a hyphen to indicate that
it is negative.
=item -cell
Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
the introductory B<pts> reference page.
=item -noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the
issuer. For more details, see the introductory B<pts> reference
page.
=item -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.
=item -help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
=back
=head1 EXAMPLES
The following example deletes the user entries pat and
B<terry>:
% pts delete pat terry
The following example deletes the Protection Database entry of the group
with AFS GID -215.
% pts delete -215
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group
to delete user and machine entries. To delete group entries, the issuer
must either own the group or belong to the
B<system:administrators> group.
