users \- file server user list format
SH DESCRIPTION
The permanent file servers each maintain a private list of users
and groups, in
B /adm/users
by convention.
Each line in the file has the format
IP
IB num : name : leader :\fImembers\fP
PP
where
I num
is a decimal integer,
I name
and
I leader
are printable strings excluding the characters
LR ? ,
LR = ,
LR + ,
LR - ,
LR / ,
and
LR : ,
and
I members
is a comma-separated list of such strings.
Such a line defines a user and a group with the given
IR name ;
the group has a group leader given by
I leader
and group members given by the user names in
IR members .
The
I leader
field may be empty,
in which case any group member is a group leader.
The
I members
field may be empty.
PP
Lines beginning with
L #
are ignored.
PP
The
I num
in a line is a number used internally by a file server;
there should be no duplicate
IR num s
in the file.
A negative
I num
is special: a user with a negative
I num
cannot attach to the file server.
The file
B /adm/users
itself is owned by user
IR adm ,
having a negative
IR num ,
and write protected to others,
so it can only be changed via console commands.
