|---|
| 17 | .SH NAME |
|---|
| 18 | credentials \- knfs credentials input file format |
|---|
| 19 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
|---|
| 20 | .B /var/athena/credentials |
|---|
| 21 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 22 | The |
|---|
| 23 | .B credentials |
|---|
| 24 | file is read by |
|---|
| 25 | .IR mkcred (1) |
|---|
| 26 | to generate db files needed by the Kerberized NFS mountd to tell it |
|---|
| 27 | what Kerberos principal names map to what local UIDs, and what local |
|---|
| 28 | groups those users are in. |
|---|
| 29 | .PP |
|---|
| 30 | The file consists of an arbitrary number of lines of the format: |
|---|
| 31 | .RS 8 |
|---|
| 32 | .B username:uid:primary gid:gid:gid:... |
|---|
| 33 | .RE |
|---|
| 34 | The first three fields are required. (The primary gid will normally be |
|---|
| 35 | 101 (mit) for Athena users.) After the three required fields there can |
|---|
| 36 | be any number of supplementary gids (including none), although |
|---|
| 37 | .I mkcred |
|---|
| 38 | may ignore later gids if the size of the list exceeds the OS-defined |
|---|
| 39 | limit. |
|---|
| 40 | .PP |
|---|
| 41 | The colon after the last gid on a line may be omitted. |
