USERLIST(5) AFS File Reference USERLIST(5) NAME
UserList - Defines privileged administrators DESCRIPTION
The UserList file lists the AFS usernames of the system administrators authorized to issue privileged bos, vos, and backup commands that affect the local server machine or the volumes housed on it. It must reside in the /etc/openafs/server directory on every server machine. Although the UserList file is in ASCII format, do not use a text editor to alter it. Instead always use the appropriate commands from the bos command suite: o The bos adduser command to add a user to the file. o The bos listusers command to display the contents of the file. o The bos removeuser command to remove a user from the file. Although it is theoretically possible to list different administrators in the UserList 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 /etc/openafs/server 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. SEE ALSO

BOS_LISTUSERS(8) AFS Command Reference BOS_LISTUSERS(8) NAME
bos_listusers - Lists the privileged users from the UserList file SYNOPSIS
bos listusers -server <machine name> [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help] bos listu -s <machine name> [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The bos listusers command lists the user names from the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the file server machine named by the -server argument. The users are authorized to issue privileged bos and vos commands. To edit the list of users, use the bos adduser and bos removeuser commands. OPTIONS
-server <machine name> Indicates the server machine from which to display the UserList file. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8). For consistent performance in the cell, the output must be the same on every server machine. The bos adduser reference page explains how to keep the machines synchronized. -cell <cell name> Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8). -noauth Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8). -localauth Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The bos command interpreter presents the ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see bos(8). -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. OUTPUT
The output lists the user name of each user entitled to issue privileged bos and vos commands. EXAMPLES
The following example lists the users from UserList file on the machine "fs4.abc.com". % bos listusers fs4.abc.com SUsers are: pat smith jones terry PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
