OpenAFS                                            2025-03-21                                      PTS_SETMAX(1)

       The ptssetmax command sets the value of one or both counters that track the IDs the Protection Server
       allocates to new users, machines, or groups: the "max user id" counter for the AFS user IDs (AFS UIDs)
       assigned to users and machines, and the "max group id" counter for the AFS group IDs (AFS GIDs) assigned
       to groups.

       Use the ptslistmax command to display the current value of both counters.

       The following command sets the "max group id" counter to -500 and the "max user id" counter to 1000.

          % pts setmax -group -500 -user 1000

       pts_setmax - Sets the value of the max group id or max user id counter

-group <groupmax>
           Sets  the  "max  group  id" counter. Precede the value with a hyphen to indicate that it is negative.
           When an administrator next uses the ptscreategroup command to create a  group  entry  and  does  not
           include  that  command's  -id  argument,  the Protection Server assigns the group an AFS GID one less
           (more negative) than this value.

       -user <usermax>
           Sets the "max user id" counter. When an administrator next uses the ptscreateuser command to  create
           a  user  or  machine  entry  and  does not include that command's -id argument, the Protection Server
           assigns the group an AFS UID one greater than this value.

       -auth
           Use the calling user's tokens to communicate with  the  Protection  Server.  For  more  details,  see
           pts(1).

       -cell <cellname>
           Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1).

       -config <configdirectory>
           Use an alternate config directory. For more details, see pts(1).

       -encrypt
           Encrypts any communication with the Protection Server. For more details, see pts(1).

       -force
           Enables  the  command  to  continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur,
           rather than halting execution at the first error.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

       -localauth
           Constructs a server ticket using a key  from  the  local  /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile  file.  Do  not
           combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see pts(1).

       -noauth
           Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1).

       The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group.
