NAME
fs_getcellstatus - Reports whether setuid programs are honored in a cell
SYNOPSIS
fs getcellstatus -cell <cell name>+ [-help]
fs getce -c <cell name>+ [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The fs getcellstatus command reports whether the Cache Manager allows programs fetched from each specified cell to run with setuid
permission. To set a cell's setuid status, use the fs setcell command; fs_setcell(1) fully describes how AFS treats setuid programs.
OPTIONS
-cell <cell name>+
Names each cell for which to report setuid status. Provide the fully qualified domain name, or a shortened form that disambiguates it
from the other cells listed in the local /etc/openafs/CellServDB file.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
OUTPUT
The output reports one of the following two values as appropriate:
Cell <cell> status: setuid allowed
Cell <cell> status: no setuid allowed
EXAMPLES
The following example indicates that programs from the cell "abc.com" are not allowed to run with setuid permission.
% fs getcellstatus abc.com
Cell abc.com status: no setuid allowed
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
None
