man pt_util (Administration système) - Utility to load/dump AFS protection database

NAME

pt_util - Utility to load/dump AFS protection database

SYNOPSIS

pt_util [-w] [-u] [-g] [-m] [-n] [-s] [-x] [-d datafile] [-p prdb]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents pt_util, a utility for dumping, loading and creating AFS protection databases. The protection database is normally made available by the ptserver daemon running on the AFS database servers. However, pt_util provides a mechanism for manipulating the database when ptserver is unavailable. This is useful to create an initial database, to effect large batch changes or when the database has a damaged system:administrators group.

By default, pt_util opens the database and prints the version. Options allow extraction of information from the database or writing new entries into the database.
