Hello,
we have introduced a new subcommand for pts ..
it adds and removes a user to or from a list of given groups with one command. if the user doesn't exist, he creates the user and adds him into the necessary groups .
see some examples :
localhost# pts help setgroups
pts setgroups: Set a user into a fixed list of groups
Usage: pts setgroups -user <user name>+ -group <group name>+ [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-force] [-help] Where: -noauth run unauthenticated -force Continue oper despite reasonable errors
This isn't really a basic operation, and given that the AFS architecture allows users to create and manage theor own groups, I wouldn't expect it to be a common operation, either.
It can't be done atomically, because the ptserver only provides interfaces to add or remove a single group membership for a single user at a time.
Why does it belong in 'pts', instead of in a script?
FYI... This is ticket #17600 in RT.
Please don't copy any followups to this thread to RT, as it will just result in lots of new duplicate tickets.
