Considerations
GROUPID group-id
specifies the user’s group number, which can be a value from 0 through
4294967295. An NFS user can, but need not, be a member of a group; that is,
although this attribute must be specified, a corresponding predefined group is not
required.
USERID user-id
specifies the user number, which can be a value from 0 through 4294967295. Two
values are recognized as special by the OSS NFS subsystem: 0 is for the root or
super-ID user, and 65534 is for the nobody user. Note that some clients use the
value 4294967294 (the unsigned equivalent of -2) instead of 65534.
ALIAS OSS { user-name }
{ user-number }
specifies a NonStop Kernel user ID, referred to as the mapped user ID, to be used on
behalf of the NFS user when requesting file access. The NonStop Kernel user ID
must already be defined in the USERID file on the NonStop Himalaya system on
which the OSS NFS manager process is running. user-name must be either a
NonStop Kernel user name or a NonStop Kernel user alias; user-number must be
the scalar form of a NonStop Kernel user ID.
The scalar form of a NonStop Kernel user ID is obtained by using the following
formula:
( group-number x 256) + member-number.
For example, the scalar form of the NonStop Kernel user ID 10,10 is:
(10 x 256) + 10 = 2570
If you omit the ALIAS OSS attribute, the user has no mapped user ID.
COMMENT “string”
is an optional attribute that allows you to include information about the user. The
information is in readable ASCII format and can be from 1 through 128 characters
long. For example, you might use this attribute to record the user’s full name and
office extension.
Considerations
Consider the following points when using the ADD USER command:
•
ADD USER is a sensitive command requiring super-ID access.
•
You cannot use object-name templates to specify object names with the ADD USER
command.
•
To add a USER object, you must be the super ID.
