3 bos setcellname - Sets the cell's name in the /usr/afs/etc/ThisCell and
4 B</usr/afs/etc/CellServDB> files
8 B<bos setcellname -server> <I<machine name>> -name <I<cell name>>
9 [B<-cell> <I<cell name>>] [B<-noauth>] [B<-localauth>] [B<-help>]
11 B<bos setc -s> <I<machine name>> B<-n> <I<cell name>> [B<-c> <I<cell name>>] [B<-n>] [B<-l>] [-h]
15 The bos setcellname command establishes the cell's name and
16 makes the server machine named by the B<-server> argument a member of
17 it, by recording the value of the B<-name> argument in two files which
18 it creates on the local disk:
29 /usr/afs/etc/CellServDB. The cell name appears on the
30 first line in the file, preceded by the required C<>> symbol.
31 The machine name specified with the B<-server> argument appears on the
32 second line along with its IP address as obtained from the cell's naming
33 service. The machine is thus designated as the cell's first
34 database server machine.
41 Issue this command only when the installing the cell's first AFS
42 server machine. The I<IBM AFS Quick Beginnings> explains how to
43 copy over the B<ThisCell> and B<CellServDB> files from this or
44 another appropriate machine during installation of additional server
47 Be sure to choose a satisfactory cell name when issuing this command,
48 because changing a cell's name is very complicated; for one thing,
49 it requires changing every password in the Authentication Database.
50 Consult the I<IBM AFS Administration Guide> for advice on choosing a
51 cell name. If changing the cell's name is absolutely necessary,
52 contact AFS Product Support for complete instructions.
61 Indicates the server machine on which to set the cell name in the
62 B<ThisCell> and B<CellServDB> file. It is always the
63 first machine installed in a cell. Identify the machine by IP address
64 or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously).
65 For details, see the introductory reference page for the B<bos>
71 Defines the cell name, using standard Internet domain name format (the
72 actual domain name is usually appropriate). Examples are
73 B<abc.com> for the ABC Corporation and
74 B<stateu.edu> for the State University. It must match
75 the value of the B<-cell> argument, if that is provided.
80 Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this
81 argument with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see the
82 introductory B<bos> reference page.
87 Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the
88 issuer. Do not combine this flag with the B<-localauth>
89 flag. For more details, see the introductory B<bos> reference
95 Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
96 B</usr/afs/etc/KeyFile> file. The B<bos> command
97 interpreter presents the ticket to the BOS Server during mutual
98 authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> or
99 B<-noauth> options. For more details, see the introductory
100 B<bos> reference page.

111 The following command defines the cell name abc.com in
112 the B<ThisCell> and B<CellServDB> files on the machine
113 B<fs1.abc.com> as it is installed as the cell's
114 first server machine.
116 % bos setcellname -server fs1.abc.com -name abc.com
118 =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
120 Authorization checking is normally turned off during installation, which is
121 the only recommended time to use this command; in this case no privilege
122 is required. If authorization checking is turned on, the issuer must be
123 listed in the B</usr/afs/etc/UserList> file on the machine named by
124 the B<-server> argument, or must be logged in as the local superuser
125 B<root> if the B<-localauth> flag is included.
