USERS(6)USERS(6)NAMEusers - kfs file server user list format
DESCRIPTION
The permanent file server kfs(4) maintains a private list of users and
groups, in /adm/users by convention. Each line in the file has the
format
num:name:leader:members
where num is a decimal integer, name and leader are printable strings
excluding the characters and and members is a comma-separated list of
such strings. Such a line defines a user and a group with the given
name; the group has a group leader given by leader and group members
given by the user names in members. The leader field may be empty, in
which case any group member is a group leader. The members field may
be empty.
Lines beginning with are ignored.
The num in a line is a number used internally by a file server; there
should be no duplicate nums in the file. A negative num is special: a
user with a negative num cannot attach to the file server. The file
/adm/users itself is owned by user adm, having a negative num, and
write protected to others, so it can only be changed via console com‐
mands.
