pts_delete

PTS_DELETE(1)						       AFS Command Reference						     PTS_DELETE(1)

NAME

       pts_delete - Deletes a Protection Database entry

SYNOPSIS

       pts delete -nameorid <user or group name or id>+
	   [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth]
	   [-force] [-help]

       pts d -na <user or group name or id>+
	   [-c <cell name>] [-no] [-l] [-f] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The pts delete command removes each entry specified by the -nameorid argument from the Protection Database. Deleting entries affects other
       parts of the system in various ways:

       o   Deleted users and groups still appear on access control lists (ACLs), but are listed by AFS UID or GID rather than by name, because
	   there is no longer an associated name to which to translate the ID. To remove these obsolete entries from ACLs, use the fs cleanacl
	   command.

       o   Deleting a user or machine's entry removes it from the membership list of any group to which it belonged.

       o   Deleting a group entry removes it from the membership list of any user or machine entry that belonged to the group, and also increments
	   the group-creation quota of the group's creator by one, even if the creator no longer owns the group.

       To remove a user or machine from a group without actually deleting the entry, use the pts removeuser command.

OPTIONS

       -nameorid <user or group name or ID>+
	   Specifies the name or AFS UID of each user, the name or AFS GID of each group, or the IP address (complete or wildcard-style) or AFS
	   UID of each machine entry to delete. It is acceptable to mix users, machines, and groups on the same command line, as well as names (IP
	   addresses for machines) and IDs. Precede the GID of each group with a hyphen to indicate that it is negative.

       -cell <cell name>
	   Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1).

       -force
	   Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the
	   first error.

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

       -localauth
	   Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or
	   -noauth options. For more details, see pts(1).

       -noauth
	   Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1).

EXAMPLES

       The following example deletes the user entries "pat" and "terry":

	  % pts delete pat terry

       The following example deletes the Protection Database entry of the group with AFS GID -215.

	  % pts delete -215

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group to delete user and machine entries. To delete group entries, the issuer must
       either own the group or belong to the system:administrators group.
