Name
bos_listusers - Lists the privileged users from the UserList file
Options
-server <machinename>
Indicates the server machine from which to display the UserList file. Identify the machine by IP
address or its host name (either fully-qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see
bos(8).
For consistent performance in the cell, the output must be the same on every server machine. The bosadduser reference page explains how to keep the machines synchronized.
-cell <cellname>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag.
For more details, see bos(8).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the
-localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile or
/etc/openafs/server/KeyFileExt file. The bos command interpreter presents the ticket to the BOS
Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For
more details, see bos(8).
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
Output
The output lists the user name of each user entitled to issue privileged bos and vos commands.
