The pts delete command removes each entry specified by the
-nameorid argument from the Protection Database. Deleting entries
affects other parts of the system in various ways:
- Deleted users and groups still appear on access control lists (ACLs), but
are listed by AFS UID or GID rather than by name, because there is no
longer an associated name to which to translate the ID. To remove these
obsolete entries from ACLs, use the fs cleanacl command.
- Deleting a user or machine's entry removes it from the membership list of
any group to which it belonged.
- Deleting a group entry removes it from the membership list of any user or
machine entry that belonged to the group, and also increments the
group-creation quota of the group's creator by one, even if the creator no
longer owns the group.
To remove a user or machine from a group without actually deleting
the entry, use the pts removeuser command.
- -nameorid
<user or group name or ID>+
- Specifies the name or AFS UID of each user, the name or AFS GID of each
group, or the IP address (complete or wildcard-style) or AFS UID of each
machine entry to delete. It is acceptable to mix users, machines, and
groups on the same command line, as well as names (IP addresses for
machines) and IDs. Precede the GID of each group with a hyphen to indicate
that it is negative.
- -auth
- Use the calling user's tokens to communicate with the Protection Server.
For more details, see pts(1).
- -cell <cell
name>
- Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
pts(1).
- -config
<config directory>
- 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 following example deletes the user entries
"pat" and
"terry":
% pts delete pat terry
The following example deletes the Protection Database entry of the
group with AFS GID -215.
% pts delete -215
The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group to
delete user and machine entries. To delete group entries, the issuer must
either own the group or belong to the system:administrators group.
