NFACCESS(8) UNIX 5.0 (University of Illinois) NFACCESS(8)
NAME
nfaccess - Add access rights to a set of Notesfiles
SYNOPSIS
nfaccess access-right topic [ topic ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Nfaccess simplifies the task of adding an access-right to
many notesfiles. The function is somewhat analagous to that
of chmod(1).
The access-right specifies a user, group or system and the
permissions to be granted. The format is:
<access-right> ::= [<type>:]name=<mode>
<type> ::= {User, user, Group, group, System, system}
<mode> ::= {d, r, w, a, n}+
The type specification can be omitted; when it is omitted,
the name is assumed to be a user. The mode is additive. A
mode of ``rw'' specifies read and write. The ``n'' mode
specifies null access.
The new access right is inserted in each specified
notesfiles access list. If the user/group/system already
has an entry, the old entry is replaced with the new entry.
All users are allowed to run this program. The changes are
only applied to notesfiles for which the executing user is a
director.
This program lives in the notesfile utility directory,
typically ``/usr/spool/notes/.utilities''.
To automatically add specific access-rights to newly created
notesfiles, the file ``/usr/spool/notes/.utilities/access-
template'' is useful. If it exists, the file contains lines
of acces-rights which are added to each notesfile as it is
created. If several people share the administration of the
notesfile system, each can be added to the access-lists of
newly created notesfiles by placing appropriate lines in
this file.
EXAMPLES
nfaccess essick=drw /usr/spool/notes/*
nfaccess group:srg=rw this that other
nfaccess user:kolstad=rw mynotes
In the first example, user `essick' is given
director/read/write access to all the notesfiles in
/usr/spool/notes. Any permissions (or restrictions) he
might have had before are overridden. The second example

NFACCESS(8) UNIX 5.0 (University of Illinois) NFACCESS(8)
gives group `srg' read/write access to notesfiles `this',
`that' and `other'. In the final example, user `kolstad' is
given read/write access to the notesfile `mynotes'.
BUGS
Entries can not be removed from the access list with this
program.
Entries can not merely be augmented (``just add write
permission'') with this program.
FILES
