FS_CHOWN(1) AFS Command Reference FS_CHOWN(1)NAME
fs_chown - Changes the owner for an object stored within AFS [Windows
only]
SYNOPSIS
fs chown -owner <owner> -path <dir/file path>+
[-literal][-help]
DESCRIPTION
The fs chown command assigns the specified owner to each object
specified with the -path.
If the -literal argument is specified, the targets of symlinks and
mountpoints are not resolved. This permits the ownership of the
symlink or mountpoint to be assigned.
The owner can be specified by name or by number. If specified by name,
the name will be resolved to the numeric value by querying the
protection server in the cell for each specified -path object.
To display the current owner, use the fs examine command.
CAUTIONS
Explicit or implicit administrator access rights are required to be
able to change the owner of an object stored in AFS. Changing
ownership can alter the current user's implicit rights.
This command is available in versions of OpenAFS for Windows 1.5.61 and
higher.
OPTIONS-owner <owner>
A valid name or number of a user identifier in the Protection
Service database.
-path <dir/file path>+
Names each AFS directory or file, on which the owner will be set.
Partial pathnames are interpreted relative to the current working
directory.
Specify the read/write path to each directory to avoid the failure
that results from attempting to change a read-only volume. By
convention, the read/write path is indicated by placing a period
before the cell name at the pathname's second level (for example,
/afs/.abc.com). For further discussion of the concept of read/write
and read-only paths through the filespace, see the fs mkmount
reference page.
-literal
When specified, the targets of symlinks and mountpoints are not
resolved. This permits the ownership of the symlink or mountpoint
to be assigned.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options
are ignored.
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must have the "a" (administer) permission on the directory's
ACL, a member of the system:administrators group, or, as a special
case, must be the UID owner of the top-level directory of the volume
containing the object.
