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.
