NAME

       bos_uninstall - Reverts to the former version of a process's binary file

SYNOPSIS

       bos uninstall -server <machine name>
           -file <files to uninstall>+ [-dir <destination dir>]
           [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

       bos u -s <machine name> -f <files to uninstall>+
           [-d <destination dir>] [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l]
           [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The bos uninstall command replaces each binary file specified by the -file argument with its ".BAK"
       version on the server machine named by the -server argument, which is normally the binary distribution
       machine for its CPU/operating system type. It also changes the extension on the current ".OLD" version
       (if any) to ".BAK". Each binary file must reside in the local /usr/lib/openafs directory unless the -dir
       argument names an alternate directory.

       To start using the reverted binary immediately, issue the bos restart command. Otherwise, the BOS Server
       automatically restarts the process at the time defined in the /etc/openafs/BosConfig file; use the bos
       getrestart command to display the time and the bos setrestart time to set it.

OPTIONS

       -server <machine name>
           Indicates  the  binary  distribution  machine  on  which to revert to the ".BAK" version of binaries.
           Identify the machine  by  IP  address  or  its  host  name  (either  fully-qualified  or  abbreviated
           unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).

           If the machine is not a binary distribution machine and is running an "upclientbin" process, then the
           files are overwritten the next time the "upclientbin" process fetches the corresponding file from the
           distribution machine (by default within five minutes).

       -file <files to uninstall>+
           Names each binary file to replace with its ".BAK" version.

       -dir <destinatino dir>
           Provides  the  complete  pathname of the local disk directory containing each file named by the -file
           argument. It is necessary only if the binaries are not in the /usr/lib/openafs directory.

       -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   example   command   overwrites   the  /usr/lib/openafs/kaserver  file  on  the  machine
       "fs4.example.com" with its ".BAK" version, and the current ".BAK" version by the ".OLD" version.

          % bos uninstall -server fs4.example.com -file kaserver

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.

       The bos uninstall command cannot be run against servers running in restricted mode.
