Maintaining UNIX groups on CDF Offline Servers

You need to be able to log in to fcdfnis00.fnal.gov. When a user is added as a group manager, they are supposed to be granted permission. So if it's not working, you'll have to open a ticket with the Helpdesk to get it fixed, or reopen the old one explaining the problem.

  • Get yourself a ticket (kinit), and ssh to the machine: ssh -l username fcdfnis00.fnal.gov
  • Unsetup your current UPS/UPD environment:
    1. (sh) unset PRODUCTS
    2. (csh) unsetenv PRODUCTS
  • Setup UPS, if it is not already when you log in. Source one of the scripts in /usr/local/etc/:
    1. (sh) . /usr/local/etc/setups.sh
    2. (csh) source /usr/local/etc/setups.csh
  • Then setup systools: setup systools
  • You can now run the available group management commands:
    1. addmember - add a member to a group
    2. delmember - delete someone
    3. grpmembers - list members of a specified group
  • To run one of these commands, use 'cmd':
    1. cmd addmember bob
    2. cmd delmember bob
    3. cmd grpmembers bobsgroup
  • If no errors were returned, everything should be working now. If not, you may need to open a helpdesk ticket.

If you need to add or remove a group manager, you will need to open a helpdesk ticket. Send mail to helpdesk@fnal.gov, ask them to direct the query to the REX group, and give a list of who should be added/removed as managers of which groups. Note that such changes are going to be subject to authorization, so if you want to save time you should forward you r request to someone who can do this, and have them submit the helpdesk ticket.
