Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers OS X - problems reassigning rights to new shortname Post 302144153 by riptorn41 on Tuesday 6th of November 2007 12:21:48 PM

Sorry, that wasn't clear - the user name is bob.hope, or firstname.lastname...and no, I didn't know the shell treats those as such. I don't even know what those are.

I just know Apple turned me to the terminal to facilitate this, and it doesn't work as they specified, so I thought I'd turn to the Unix gods for help.

Do you understand what I'm trying to do? I've drug a bunch of folders from a directory that was owned by bob.hoping and put them in a new directory (generated by the OS which is bound to Active Directory) called bob.hope. All of the files now need to be owned by bob.hope...maybe I'm just going at it wrong.

Thanks so much for any and all help. And sorry I'm an ignoramus.

REALMINIT(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					     REALMINIT(1p)

NAME
realminit - Create new realm records for a DNSSEC-Tools realms file. SYNOPSIS
realminit [options] <realm1> ... <realmN> DESCRIPTION
realminit creates new realm entries for a realms file. dtrealms manages multiple distinct DNSSEC-Tools rollover environments running simultaneously. Each rollover environment, called a realm, is defined in a realms file. dtrealms uses this file to determine how to run the rollover environment. This is useful for such things as managing very large collections of zones, segregating customer zones, and software tests. The newly generated realm entries are written to standard output, unless the -out option is specified. A realms file contains a number of entries, one for each managed realm. A realm entry has this format: realm "example" state "active" configdir "/usr/realms/configs/example" statedir "/usr/realms/states/example" realmsdir "/usr/realms/realms-files/example" rollrec "example.rrf" administrator "bob@cat.example.com" display "1" manager "rollerd" args "-display -loglevel phase" Multiple realm entries may be created with a single execution of realminit. Except for the entry's name field, the entries will be exactly the same unless the '=' metacharacter is used in the command-line options. If the values of the configdir, statedir, realmdir, rollrec, administrator, args, or user options contain an '=', then it will be replaced with the realm's name when building the entry. See the EXAMPLES section for examples of how options are used by realminit. OPTIONS
realminit may be given the following options: -active This indicates that dtrealms should start the realm when dtrealms starts. realms are active by default. -administrator This is the email address for the realm's administrator. -args This is a set of command-line arguments passed to the realm's rollover manager when the realm is started. -configdir This is the realm's configuration directory. This will contain such files as the DNSSEC-Tools configuration file for that realm. -display This indicates if the realm should be included in grandvizier output. -inactive This indicates that dtrealms should not start the realm when dtrealms starts. -manager This is the rollover manager for the realm. rollerd is the default rollover manager, but other managers may be used. -out output-file The new realm entries will be appended to output-file. The file will be created if it does not exist. If this option is not given, the new rollrec entries will be written to standard output. -realmdir This is the realm's data directory. This directory is expected to contain the rollrec file, zone files, keyrec files, and key files for the zones in that realm. -rollrec This is the path to the realm's rollrec file. This is used to control rollover actions for the realm. If it is not an absolute path, it will be assumed to be relative to the realmdir field. -statedir This is the realm's state directory. This will contain such files as that realm's rollrec lock file and the rollerd communications socket. If the statedir is not defined for a realm, then the realm's configdir is used for that value. -user This is the user that the realm is executed as. (This is not yet implemented in dtrealms.) -help Display a usage message. -Version Display version information for realminit and DNSSEC-Tools. EXAMPLES
The following options should make clear how realminit deals with options and the new realms. Example 1 will show the complete new realm record. For the sake of brevity, the remaining examples will only show the fields relevant to that example. Further examples will also use short-hand forms of the option names. Example 1. One realm, with -statedir This example shows the realm generated by giving realminit a single realm. $ realminit -active -configdir /realms/confs/example -statedir /realms/states/example -realmdir /realms/realms/example -rollrec example.rrf -admin bob@cat.example.com -args "-loglevel phase -logfile logger" example realm "example" state "active" configdir "/realms/confs/example" statedir "/realms/states/example" realmdir "/realms/realms/example" rollrec "example.rrf" administrator "bob@cat.example.com" display "1" manager "rollerd" args "-loglevel phase -logfile logger" Example 2. One realm, without -statedir This example shows the realm generated by giving realminit a single realm. $ realminit -active -configdir /realms/confs/example -realmdir /realms/realms/example -rollrec example.rrf -admin bob@cat.example.com -args "-loglevel phase -logfile logger" example realm "example" state "active" configdir "/realms/confs/example" statedir "/realms/confs/example" ... Example 3. Two realms, without metacharacters This example shows the realms generated by giving realminit two realms, without using the special "=" metacharacter. $ realminit -configdir /realms/confs/example -statedir /realms/states/example -realmdir /realms/realms/example -rollrec example.rrf -admin bob@cat.example.com example test realm "example" configdir "/realms/confs/example" statedir "/realms/states/example" realmdir "/realms/realms/example" rollrec "example.rrf" administrator "bob@cat.example.com" ... realm "test" configdir "/realms/confs/example" statedir "/realms/states/example" realmdir "/realms/realms/example" rollrec "example.rrf" administrator "bob@cat.example.com" ... Example 4. Two realms, with metacharacters This example shows the realms generated by giving realminit two realms, and that uses the special "=" metacharacter. $ realminit -configdir /realms/confs/= -statedir /realms/states/= -realmdir /realms/realms/= -rollrec =.rrf -admin bob@cat.=.com example test realm "example" configdir "/realms/confs/example" statedir "/realms/states/example" realmdir "/realms/realms/example" rollrec "example.rrf" administrator "bob@cat.example.com" ... realm "test" configdir "/realms/confs/test" statedir "/realms/states/test" realmdir "/realms/realms/test" rollrec "test.rrf" administrator "bob@cat.test.com" ...
