Managing Systems and Workgroups: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators

Configuring a Workgroup
Adding Users to a Workgroup
Chapter 4390
Before beginning, make sure Tom’s login name has a uid number that is
unique across the systems he is going to use. (Your network
administrator may have a program to ensure uniqueness of uid
numbers.)
Then create an account for Tom on the file server, flserver. See “Adding
a User to a System” on page 245.
Then do the following procedure:
Step 1. On the file server, export Tom’s home directory and the projects
directory where he does his work:
a. Add an entry to the /etc/exports file to export Tom’s home directory:
/home/tom -async,anon=65534,access=appservr:ws732:wsj6700
If the directory is already exported, simply add the user’s system to
the access list.
b. Add an entry to the /etc/exports file to export the /projects
directory:
/work -async,anon=65534,access=wsb2600:wsj6700
This contains the files and directories Tom will share with other
members of his project team.
c. Force the server to re-read /etc/exports and activate the new
exports for /work and /home:
exportfs -a
Step 2. On the application server, export the directories (emacs and netscape)
that Tom needs:
a. Add entries to the /etc/exports file:
/usr/local/share/emacs -async,anon=65534,access=wsb2600:wsj6700
/opt/hp/gnu/bin700/emacs -async,anon=65534,access=wsb2600:wsj6700
/opt/netscape -asynd,anon=65534,access=wsb2600:wsj6700
b. Export the directories for emacs and netscape:
exportfs -a
Step 3. On Tom’s workstation, wsb2600, do the following:
