man grid-mapfile-check-consistency (8): Add an entry to a grid map file

SYNOPSIS

grid-mapfile-check-consistency [-h] [-help] [-usage] [-version]
grid-mapfile-check-consistency [-mapfile MAPFILE] | [-f MAPFILE]

DESCRIPTION

The grid-mapfile-check-consistency program performs basic checks for validity of a gridmap file. These checks include checks for existence, duplication of entries, and valid local user names. If the gridmap file is valid, grid-mapfile-check-consistency exits with a zero exit code, otherwise it exits with a non-zero exit code. In either case, it displays information about its progress as it parses and validates the gridmap file.

By default, grid-mapfile-check-consistency will check the gridmap file named by the GRIDMAP environment variable if present. If that variable is not set, it will check the file $HOME/.gridmap for non-root users if present. If that doesn't exist or grid-mapfile-check-consistency is run as root, it will then check /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile. This can be changed by the use of the -mapfile or -f command-line options.

The full set of command-line options to grid-mapfile-check-consistency are:

-help, -h, -usage

: Display the command-line options to grid-mapfile-check-consistency.

-version

: Display the version number of the grid-mapfile-check-consistency command.

-mapfile MAPFILE, -f MAPFILE

: Check the gridmap file named by MAPFILE instead of the default.

EXAMPLES

Check that the gridmap file in /etc/grid-security is valid:

% grid-mapfile-check-consistency -f /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile
Checking /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile
Verifying grid mapfile existence...OK
Checking for duplicate entries...OK
Checking for valid user names...OK

Check a gridmap file that has an invalid local user name:

% grid-mapfile-check-consistency -f /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile
Checking /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile
Verifying grid mapfile existence...OK
Checking for duplicate entries...OK
ERROR: baduser is not a valid local username
ERROR: Found 1 invalid username(s)
