GFUSER(1)

💖 GFUSER(1) — the Gfarm user maintenance command, bestie 💖

okay so this is a page from the Gfarm manual, and it's literally all about keeping your Gfarm users cute and organized. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gfuser — the Gfarm user maintenance command. that's it, that's the whole name section, she's simple and she knows it 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gfuser [-P path] [-l] [user...]

gfuser [-P path] -c username realname homedir gsi_dn

gfuser [-P path] -m username realname homedir gsi_dn

gfuser [-P path] -d username

look at her go. four whole modes, four whole vibes ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gfuser manages Gfarm global users inside the Gfarm file system. she's the main character of user admin, fr fr.

the default action (aka you just run her with nothing) displays all registered users. but if you name some users? then she shows you just those users. iconic behavior.

and if you're a Gfarm administrator, you get the glow-up powers: you can create, modify, and delete a Gfarm user with the -c, -m, and -d options. yes bestie, those three, in that order 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -P path — this one tells her which metadata server to hit up. you give it a pathname or a Gfarm URL to identify the metadata server this command will access. if you don't specify it? the default is literally just "/". no cap.
• -l — the verbose queen ✨ displays verbose information of the registered users. more info, more drama, we love her.
• -c — creates a user 🎀 you gotta hand her four things: a global username in the Gfarm file system, a real username, a home directory in Gfarm, and a Subject DN used in GSI. ⚠️ if the real username or the Subject DN has spaces in it, you need to quote it. this option can be used by Gfarm administrators.
• -m — replaces a user's info for the specified global user with the specified real name, home directory, and Subject DN. basically a glow-up for an existing user 💖 this option can be used by Gfarm administrators.
• -d — deletes a registered user 😭 gone, girl, gone. this option can be used by Gfarm administrators.
• -? — displays a list of command options. your little help button, your safety net, your bestie when you forget everything 🫶
