NAME

       pts_delete - Deletes a Protection Database entry

SYNOPSIS

       pts delete -nameorid <user or group name or id>+
           [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth]
           [-force] [-help]

       pts d -na <user or group name or id>+
           [-c <cell name>] [-no] [-l] [-f] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -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.

       -cell <cell name>
           Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see
           pts(1).

       -noauth
           Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more
           details, see pts(1).

       -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).

       -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.

EXAMPLES

       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

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       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.
