✨ FS_GETCELLSTATUS — AFS Command Reference ✨

okay bestie, welcome to FS_GETCELLSTATUS(1) 💅 this is the AFS command reference and we're about to find out if a cell's programs get to run with setuid permission. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

fs_getcellstatus — reports whether setuid programs are honored in a cell

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

fs getcellstatus -cell <cell name>+ [-help]

fs getce -c <cell name>+ [-h]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea, bestie 🫖 — the fs getcellstatus command reports whether the Cache Manager allows programs fetched from each specified cell to run with setuid permission.

and if you wanna set a cell's setuid status instead of just peeking at it? that's a fs setcell situation, and fs_setcell(1) fully describes how AFS treats setuid programs. go read that one too, it's literally the whole lore 📖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -cell <cell name>+ — names each cell that you want setuid status reported for. give it the fully qualified domain name, or a shortened form that disambiguates it from the other cells listed in the local /etc/openafs/CellServDB file. yes, the + means you can stack multiple cells in here, she's flexible like that 💅
  • -help — prints the online help for this command. and lowkey? all other valid options are just ignored when you use this one. she said "help only, periodt" 💀

🔥 OUTPUT 🔥

the output reports one of the following two values, as appropriate:

Cell <cell> status: setuid allowed
Cell <cell> status: no setuid allowed

like, it's giving binary but make it fashion ✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

the following example indicates that programs from the cell "example.com" are not allowed to run with setuid permission.

% fs getcellstatus example.com
Cell example.com status: no setuid allowed

oof, example.com said no setuid for you 🚫😭 iconic honestly

👑 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED 👑

None 🫶 you need zero privileges for this one. she's free, she's accessible, she's for the people.
