=head1 DESCRIPTION The B command can be used to load or dump the protection database. It should only be used when B is not running. The most likely reason to use it is to initialize the protection database when bringing up a new cell. The current syntax for this, presented below, needs improvement. B can also be used when problems are suspected with the database. It can be used to dump the database or portions thereof, in several different ways, and to reload it. The textual representation of the database has the following form: For users, name flags/quota viceid ownerid creatorid For groups, name flags/quota viceid ownerid creatorid a-username a-user-viceid The second line is repeated for each member of the group. When reading the database, membership is not reported unless B<-members> is also included. =head1 OPTIONS If you don't specify any options, the only thing you'll learn is the ubik database epoch and version. =over 4 =item B<-w> Write to the protection database instead of reading. Only the file arguments make sense in combination with this argument. =item B<-user> When reading, display users. =item B<-group> When reading, display groups (but not necessarily members). =item B<-members> When reading, display groups and also group members. =item B<-name> When reading, follow name hashes, instead of id hashes. This may print different information if the database was corrupted. Otherwise, it should print exactly the same information, except in a different order. =item B<-system> When reading, display system data, or more precisely, do not display entries with a viced <= -32768 or >= +97537. =item B<-xtra> When reading, display extra users and groups, or more precisely, do not display entries that are in the range -32767...+97536 inclusive. =item B<-prdb> > Specifies the complete pathname of the file in which the Protection Database resides. Provide the complete name, including the ending F<.DB0>. =item B<-datafile> > Specify the file to which to dump (or B<-w> from which to read) textual database records. =back =head1 CAUTIONS The file dump format does not include supergroup information, so should not be used if you have and are using groups within groups. In all cases, entry timestamps and other information is also not preserved. =head1 EXAMPLES The following example shows how to initialize the database from scratch. Before you do this, make sure B is not running. If you have multiple database servers, make sure F does not exist on any server machine. Now, type this in EXACTLY, including the leading space on the line indicated. But do use Control-D at the end, not up-arrow D. pt_util -w admin 128/20 1 -204 -204 system:administrators 130/20 -204 -204 -204 admin 1 ^D You will see this: # pt_util -w pt_util: /usr/afs/db/prdb.DB0: Bad UBIK_MAGIC.
