If you are displaying the children of a group, -expandgroups will expand all of the children. If you are displaying what groups an entry is in, -expandgroups will expand all of the supergroups. -supergroups displays the containing groups of a group instead of the group membership. That is, currently if you pass 'pts mem' a group, it will display the members of that group; if you give it a user, it will display the groups that user is in. Before -supergroups, there was no way to display what groups a group was in. Let me try an example to explain all of them. Say we have a group group1, which contains group2, which contains user3. 'pts mem group1' will display "group2". 'pts mem group1 -expandgroups' will display "group2, user3" 'pts mem group2 -supergroups' will display "g1". 'pts mem user3' will display "group2" 'pts mem user3 -expandgroups' will display "group2, group1" > If that's the case, -supergroups would make more sense as > "-parentgroups" > > Is it too late to rename that option? I thought that the term 'supergroup' has always referred to a group that contained another group (in AFS PTS). So, you're listing the group's supergroups... I don't know, it makes sense to me. We could just make a -parentgroups switch do the same thing as -supergroups, if there is demand. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
