dsldxprof

PURPOSE

     Loads  translate information  into the  UID/GID translate
     profiles.

SYNOPSIS
     dsldxprof [ [ -f file ] [ -n node ] ] [ -u -r ]


DESCRIPTION

     The dsldxprof command loads  translate information from a
     file into  the UID/GID translate profiles.   Each line in
     the file contains  a row of translate  information in the
     following format:

       Usr/Grp_name  U/G  Local_id  Outbound_id  Inbound_id  Originating_node

     This format is the same as the translate information from
     the  Network Users/Groups  Table.  You  must specify  the
     U/G, Local_id,  and either the Inbound_id  or Outbound_id
     fields.   If  you  specify   the  Inbound_id  field,  the
     Originating_node  field  must  also be  specified.   Data
     entered after the Originating Nickname/Node ID is treated
     as  a comment  and ignored.   A -  (hyphen) is  placed in
     unused fields as a placeholder.

     The dsldxprof command reads a line of data from the file.
     If a line  begins with a "*" (asterisk), it  is a comment
     line.  Comment  lines are  ignored and  the next  line is
     read.  If the line is not a comment line, dsldxprof vali-
     dates the data and loads  the data into profiles.  Trans-
     late  rows  are  rejected   due  to  improper  syntax  or
     incorrect  values, or  they may  conflict with  translate
     rows already in the profiles.  A translate row is in con-
     flict if there is an existing  row in the profiles with a
     matching U/G, Local_id, Inbound_id, and Originating_node,
     or if  there is an  existing row  in the profiles  with a
     matching  U/G, Local_id,  and Outbound_id,  or both.   If
     there is conflict, you are  prompted to replace or reject
     the  conflicting  row.   Rejected  rows  are  written  to
     standard error along with the information on why they are
     rejected.

     To delete a  translate row from the  profiles, precede an
     identical row in the file with ##.

     To use  dsldxprof command,  you must be  a member  of the
     system group or have superuser authority (see "su").

FLAGS

     -a          Places all rows that are in conflict into the
                 profiles without prompting.
     -d          Deletes the pfsuidgid profile and then recre-
                 ates it without any  entries.  This option is
                 handled before the -f option if both exist.
     -f filename Reads translate information from filename.
     -n nodename Updates translate profiles on the remote node
                 nodename.
     -r          Rejects   all    conflicting   rows   without
                 prompting.

FILES

     pfsuidgid   Contains translate information.
     .pfsuidgid  Contains indexes defined for pfsuidgid.
