More correctly what are you trying to do? ...not how you think it should be done

fs_getcellstatus

FS_GETCELLSTATUS(1)					       AFS Command Reference					       FS_GETCELLSTATUS(1)

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
