21 <title>Description</title>
22 <para>The bos adduser command adds each user name specified with the <emphasis role="bold">-user</emphasis>
23 argument to the <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc/UserList</replaceable> file on the machine named by the
24 <emphasis role="bold">-server</emphasis> argument. It is the issuer's responsibility to verify that an
25 entry for the user exists in the Authentication and Protection Databases.</para>
29 <title>Options</title>
32 <term><emphasis role="bold">-server</emphasis> <<emphasis>machine name</emphasis>></term>
34 <para>Indicates the server machine on which to change the
35 <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc/UserList</replaceable> file. Identify the machine by IP address or its
36 host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For
37 details, see <link linkend="bos8">bos(8)</link>.</para>
39 <para>In cells that use the Update Server to distribute the contents of the
40 <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc</replaceable> directory, it is conventional to specify only the system
41 control machine as a value for the <emphasis role="bold">-server</emphasis> argument. Otherwise, repeat
42 the command for each file server machine. For further discussion, see
43 <link linkend="bos8">bos(8)</link>.</para>
48 <term><emphasis role="bold">-user</emphasis> <<emphasis>user names</emphasis>>+</term>
50 <para>Specifies each user name to insert into the <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc/UserList</replaceable> file.</para>
55 <term><emphasis role="bold">-cell</emphasis> <<emphasis>cell name</emphasis>></term>
57 <para>Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
58 with the <emphasis role="bold">-localauth</emphasis> flag. For more details, see <link linkend="bos8">bos(8)</link>.</para>
63 <term><emphasis role="bold">-noauth</emphasis></term>
65 <para>Assigns the unprivileged identity <computeroutput>anonymous</computeroutput> to the issuer. Do not
66 combine this flag with the <emphasis role="bold">-localauth</emphasis> flag. For more details, see
67 <link linkend="bos8">bos(8)</link>.</para>
72 <term><emphasis role="bold">-localauth</emphasis></term>
74 <para>Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
75 <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc/KeyFile</replaceable> file. The <emphasis role="bold">bos</emphasis> command interpreter presents the
76 ticket to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this
77 flag with the <emphasis role="bold">-cell</emphasis> or <emphasis role="bold">-noauth</emphasis> options. For more details, see
78 <link linkend="bos8">bos(8)</link>.</para>
83 <term><emphasis role="bold">-help</emphasis></term>
85 <para>Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
93 <title>Examples</title>
94 <para>The following command adds the user names <computeroutput>pat</computeroutput> and <computeroutput>smith</computeroutput> to the
95 <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc/UserList</replaceable> file on the machine <computeroutput>fs1.abc.com</computeroutput> (the system
96 control machine).</para>
99 % bos adduser -server fs1.abc.com -user pat smith
104 <title>Privilege Required</title>
105 <para>The issuer must be listed in the <replaceable>/usr/afs/etc/UserList</replaceable> file on the
106 machine named by the <emphasis role="bold">-server</emphasis> argument, or must be logged onto a server
107 machine as the local superuser <computeroutput>root</computeroutput> if the <emphasis role="bold">-localauth</emphasis> flag is
