LCMAPS_DUMMY_GOOD.MOD(8)

πŸ’– LCMAPS_DUMMY_GOOD.MOD πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the lcmaps_dummy_good.mod(8) page from the System Manager's Manual and it is, genuinely, the most unbothered icon in the whole LCMAPS lineup. no cap.


✨ NAME ✨

lcmaps_dummy_good.mod β€” the dummy LCMAPS plugin that always returns success. she's a yes-girl. she's thriving. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lcmaps_dummy_good.mod [{--dummy-uid uid|--dummy-username user}]
[{--dummy-gid gid|--dummy-group group}] [{--dummy-sec-gid
gid|--dummy-sec-group group}]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So this is an LCMAPS plug-in, and its whole personality is: always returns successfully. ✨ that's it. that's the vibe. optionally tho, she can hand you back a user and a group mapping if you ask her nicely, which is lowkey the only time she does anything other than say "yes bestie 🫢".


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

this plugin gets configured over in the lcmaps.db(5) file, following the specific syntax laid out in the documentation. iykyk.

  • --dummy-uid uid
  • --dummy-username user β€” the user id or the user name to return as part of a successful mapping. ⚠️ the user must exist on the system β€” no making people up, that's not the move. the default is to return no user information at all (she's mysterious like that). and bestie, use either of these options, not both. pick a lane. πŸ’€
  • --dummy-gid gid
  • --dummy-group group β€” the group id or the group name to return as part of a successful mapping. the group must exist on the system too, same energy. the default is to return no group mapping whatsoever. and again β€” use either of these options, not both. one or the other, queen. πŸ‘‘
  • --dummy-sec-gid gid
  • --dummy-sec-group group β€” this one is the secondary group mapping to return as part of a successful mapping. yes the group must exist on the system. πŸ“ and important: only one secondary group can be mapped by this plug-in. just one. she's not doing a whole crowd. the default is to return no secondary group mapping. and (you guessed it) use either of these options, not both.

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

she always returns LCMAPS_MOD_SUCCESS. always. it's giving main character. πŸŽ€

but β€” and this is the plot twist 😭 β€” if the user or the group you asked for was not found on the system, the plugin returns LCMAPS_MOD_FAIL. so like, she's a yes-girl but she's not a liar.
