3 | UserList - Defines privileged administrators | |
4 | ||
5 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
6 | ||
7 | The F<UserList> file lists the AFS usernames of the system administrators | |
8 | authorized to issue privileged B<bos>, B<vos>, and B<backup> commands that | |
9 | affect the local server machine or the volumes housed on it. It must | |
10 | reside in the F</usr/afs/etc> directory on every server machine. | |
11 | ||
12 | Although the F<UserList> file is in ASCII format, do not use a text editor | |
13 | to alter it. Instead always use the appropriate commands from the B<bos> | |
14 | command suite: | |
15 | ||
16 | =over 4 | |
17 | ||
18 | =item * | |
19 | ||
20 | The B<bos adduser> command to add a user to the file. | |
21 | ||
22 | =item * | |
23 | ||
24 | The B<bos listusers> command to display the contents of the file. | |
25 | ||
26 | =item * | |
27 | ||
28 | The B<bos removeuser> command to remove a user from the file. | |
29 | ||
30 | =back | |
31 | ||
32 | Although it is theoretically possible to list different administrators in | |
33 | the F<UserList> files on different server machines, doing so can cause | |
34 | unanticipated authorization failures and is not recommended. In cells that | |
35 | use the Update Server to distribute the contents of the F</usr/afs/etc> | |
36 | directory, it is customary to edit only the copy of the file stored on the | |
37 | system control machine. Otherwise, edit the file on each server machine | |
38 | individually. | |
