It must reside in the \fI/etc/openafs/server\fR directory on every server machine. .PP Although the \fIUserList\fR file is in ASCII format, do not use a text editor to alter it. Instead always use the appropriate commands from the \fBbos\fR command suite: .IP \(bu 4 The \fBbos adduser\fR command to add a user to the file. .IP \(bu 4 The \fBbos listusers\fR command to display the contents of the file. .IP \(bu 4 The \fBbos removeuser\fR command to remove a user from the file. .PP Although it is theoretically possible to list different administrators in the \fIUserList\fR files on different server machines, doing so can cause unanticipated authorization failures and is not recommended. In cells that use the Update Server to distribute the contents of the \fI/etc/openafs/server\fR directory, it is customary to edit only the copy of the file stored on the system control machine. Otherwise, edit the file on each server machine individually. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBbos_adduser\fR\|(8), \&\fBbos_listusers\fR\|(8), \&\fBbos_removeuser\fR\|(8), \&\fBupclient\fR\|(8), \&\fBupserver\fR\|(8) .SH COPYRIGHT .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" IBM Corporation 2000.
