⇱ man pts_setmax (1): Sets the value of the max group id or max user id counter

pts_setmax(1) Sets the value of the max group id or max user id counter

SYNOPSIS

pts setmax [-group <group max>] [-user <user max>]
    [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-force] [-help]

pts setm [-g group max>] [-u <user max>]
    [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-f] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

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

Use the pts listmax command to display the current value of both counters.

OPTIONS

-group <group max>
Sets the counter. Precede the value with a hyphen to indicate that it is negative. When an administrator next uses the pts creategroup command to create a group entry and does not include that command's -id argument, the Protection Server assigns the group an one less (more negative) than this value.
-user <user max>
Sets the counter. When an administrator next uses the pts createuser command to create a user or machine entry and does not include that command's -id argument, the Protection Server assigns the group an one greater than this value.
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. 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).

EXAMPLES

The following command sets the counter to -500 and the counter to 1000. 
 % pts setmax -group -500 -user 1000

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

The issuer must belong to the system:administrators group.
