NAME

       bos_adduser - Adds a privileged user to the UserList file

SYNOPSIS

       bos adduser -server <machine name> -user <user names>+
           [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

       bos addu -s <machine name> -u <user names>+
           [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The bos adduser command adds each user name specified with the -user argument to the
       /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine named by the -server argument. It is the issuer's
       responsibility to verify that an entry for the user exists in the Authentication and Protection
       Databases.

OPTIONS

       -server <machine name>
           Indicates  the  server machine on which to change the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file. Identify the
           machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified  or  abbreviated  unambiguously).  For
           details, see bos(8).

           In  cells that use the Update Server to distribute the contents of the /etc/openafs/server directory,
           it is conventional to specify only the system control machine as a value for  the  -server  argument.
           Otherwise, repeat the command for each file server machine. For further discussion, see bos(8).

       -user <user names>+
           Specifies each user name to insert into the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file.

       -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  or
           /etc/openafs/server/KeyFileExt 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 adds the user names "pat" and "smith" to the /etc/openafs/server/UserList  file  on
       the machine "fs1.example.com" (the system control machine).

          % bos adduser -server fs1.example.com -user pat smith

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The  issuer  must  be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine named by the -server
       argument, or must be logged onto a server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is
       included.
