BOS_SETCELLNAME(8)					       AFS Command Reference						BOS_SETCELLNAME(8)

NAME

       bos_setcellname - Sets the cell's name in ThisCell and CellServDB

SYNOPSIS

       bos setcellname -server <machine name> -name <cell name>
	   [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

       bos setc -s <machine name> -n <cell name>
	   [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The bos setcellname command establishes the cell's name and makes the server machine named by the -server argument a member of it, by
       recording the value of the -name argument in two files which it creates on the local disk:

       o   /etc/openafs/server/ThisCell

       o   /etc/openafs/server/CellServDB. The cell name appears on the first line in the file, preceded by the required ">" symbol.  The machine
	   name specified with the -server argument appears on the second line along with its IP address as obtained from the cell's naming
	   service. The machine is thus designated as the cell's first database server machine.

CAUTIONS

       Issue this command only when the installing the cell's first AFS server machine. The OpenAFS Quick Start Guide explains how to copy over
       the ThisCell and CellServDB files from this or another appropriate machine during installation of additional server machines.

       Be sure to choose a satisfactory cell name when issuing this command, because changing a cell's name is very complicated; for one thing, it
       requires changing every password in the Authentication Database.  Consult the OpenAFS Administration Guide for advice on choosing a cell
       name.

OPTIONS

       -server <machine name>
	   Indicates the server machine on which to set the cell name in the ThisCell and CellServDB file. It is always the first machine
	   installed in a cell. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously).  For
	   details, see bos(8).

       -name <cell name>
	   Defines the cell name, using standard Internet domain name format (the actual domain name is usually appropriate). Examples are
	   "abc.com" for the ABC Corporation and "stateu.edu" for the State University. It must match the value of the -cell argument, if that is
	   provided.

       -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.

EXAMPLES

       The following command defines the cell name "abc.com" in the ThisCell and CellServDB files on the machine "fs1.abc.com" as it is installed
       as the cell's first server machine.

	  % bos setcellname -server fs1.abc.com -name abc.com

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       Authorization checking is normally turned off during installation, which is the only recommended time to use this command; in this case no
       privilege is required. If authorization checking is turned on, the issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the
       machine named by the -server argument, or must be logged in as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included.
