The pts setmax command sets the value of one or both
counters that track the IDs the Protection Server allocates to new users,
machines, or groups: the "max user id"
counter for the AFS user IDs (AFS UIDs) assigned to users and machines, and
the "max group id" counter for the AFS
group IDs (AFS GIDs) assigned to groups.
Use the pts listmax command to display the current value of
both counters.
- -group <group
max>
- Sets the "max group id" counter. Precede
the value with a hyphen to indicate that it is negative. When an
administrator next uses the pts creategroup command to
create a group entry and does not include that command's -id
argument, the Protection Server assigns the group an AFS GID one less
(more negative) than this value.
- -user <user
max>
- Sets the "max user id" counter. When an
administrator next uses the pts createuser command to create
a user or machine entry and does not include that command's -id
argument, the Protection Server assigns the group an AFS UID one greater
than this value.
- -auth
- Use the calling user's tokens to communicate with the Protection Server.
For more details, see pts(1).
- -cell <cell
name>
- Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
pts(1).
- -config
<config directory>
- Use an alternate config directory. For more details, see
pts(1).
- -encrypt
- Encrypts any communication with the Protection Server. For more details,
see pts(1).
- -force
- Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors
or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the first
error.
- -help
- Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
ignored.
- -localauth
- Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
/etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the
-cell or -noauth options. For more details, see
pts(1).
- -noauth
- Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more
details, see pts(1).
The following command sets the "max group
id" counter to -500 and the "max user
id" counter to 1000.
% pts setmax -group -500 -user 1000
The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group.
