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.
