To: info-afs@transarc.com Cc: ccprl@xdm001.ccc.cranfield.ac.uk Date: Wed, 08 Apr 92 16:42:41 BST From: "Peter Lister, Cranfield Computer Centre" <ccprl@xdm001.ccc.cranfield.ac.uk> I would like to be able to create an AFS user root with ID 0 so that I when I tweak system files within AFS, I don't have to explicitly chown root all the time (even if I su root, new files are still owned by the AFS ID I use). pts cu root -id 0 ignores the -id and uses the next highest ID. Is this special handling of ID 0 prejudice by pts or an integral part of AFS? Also, how can I make groups members of other groups? I can't get this to work! I had assumed that this obvious and desirable feature would be available. Could I be wrong? If so, will Transarc please rectify this omission; we need to be able to grant multiple groups access to multiple files without having to explicitly add users to a special group, or explicitly add groups to each ACL. If there is a reason for the omission (other than oversight), is it fundamental to AFS, or just pts prejudice?
