BACKUP-WHATSTHIS(1)						   Chiark-backup					       BACKUP-WHATSTHIS(1)

NAME

       backup-whatsthis - read an id off a tape and display it

SYNOPSIS

       backup-whatsthis [--list [n]]

DESCRIPTION

       `backup-whatsthis'  is a simple script to display the TAPEID of the current tape and optionally list its contents.  This script is a bit of
       a hack and may not be fully reliable.

OPTIONS

       --list [n] Print TAPEID then list archive n (default 0). Note that archives are numbered from zero.

FILES

       /etc/chiark-backup/settings.pl
	      Configuration file for the whole of chiark-backup

BUGS

       `backup-whatsthis' is currently hardwired to assume `cpio' type backups when listing; it could be trivially hardwired to assume `zafio'	or
       with slightly more effort it could be done properly :->.

NAME

       grab-account - add new account synchronised to remote system

SYNOPSIS

       grab-account local-user source [remote-user]

DESCRIPTION

       grab-account  reconfigures  sync-accounts  to  start synchronising a specified local user (which may not yet exist) from a specified remote
       system, and then invokes sync-accounts once to synchronise from that source.

       /etc/sync-accounts/createuser should contain a addhere line in the appropriate source section (ie, after host source).  grab-account adds a
	 user local-user [remote=remote-user]
       directive just before addhere and runs sync-accounts source.

EXIT STATUS

       0      All went well.

       any other
	      There were problems.

FILES

       /etc/sync-accounts; See also sync-accounts(8).

ENVIRONMENT

       See sync-accounts(8).

BUGS

       There is no locking of /etc/sync-accounts so do not invoke grab-account from a script, or more than once at a time by hand.   Do  not  edit
       /etc/sync-accounts by hand and also simultaneously run grab-account.

       The mechanism involving addhere is suboptimal.  This should be done with an include feature in sync-accounts, so that grab-account does not
       have to edit a configuration file that really belongs to the sysadmin.
