|---|
| 18 | .SH NAME |
|---|
| 19 | zinit \- zephyr login initialization program |
|---|
| 20 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
|---|
| 21 | zinit [-a] [-m] |
|---|
| 22 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 23 | .I zinit |
|---|
| 24 | is normally executed automatically by \fIzwgc(1)\fR. It reads through |
|---|
| 25 | the attachtab to determine which filesystems have been attached on |
|---|
| 26 | that workstation, and subscribes the user to the appropriate Zephyr |
|---|
| 27 | instances so that he or she will receive messages from Athena |
|---|
| 28 | Operations regarding the filesystems' fileservers. |
|---|
| 29 | |
|---|
| 30 | \fIzinit\fR subscribes to class \fBFILSRV\fR, instances |
|---|
| 31 | \fIservername\fR and \fIservername\fR:\fIpathname\fR for NFS lockers |
|---|
| 32 | found in attachtab, where \fIservername\fR is the name of the machine |
|---|
| 33 | providing the file service. For AFS filesystems, instances \fIcell\fR, |
|---|
| 34 | and \fIcell\fR:\fIvolume\fR are subscribed to, where \fIcell\fR and |
|---|
| 35 | \fIvolume\fR are the cell and volume names of the root of the |
|---|
| 36 | filesystem. In addition, if the root of an AFS filesystem is not |
|---|
| 37 | replicated on multiple servers, instance \fIservername\fP is |
|---|
| 38 | subscribed to. |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | By default, only messages about filesystems attached by the user |
|---|
| 41 | running attach or root are subscribed to. The |
|---|
| 42 | .B \-a \fPor\fB \-\-all |
|---|
| 43 | option selects all remote filesystems, while |
|---|
| 44 | .B \-m \fPor\fB \-\-me |
|---|
| 45 | selects only those attached by the user. |
