IBM SG24-5131-00 manual Managing Group Accounts, Spoc Log

To remove a user account from one or more cluster nodes, you can either use the AIX rmuser command on one cluster node after the other, or use the C-SPOC cl_rmuser command or the C-SPOC Remove a User from the Cluster SMIT screen. The cl_rmuser command executes the AIX rmuser command on all cluster nodes.

Note

The system removes the user account but does not remove the home directory or any files owned by the user. These files are only accessible to users with root authority or by the group in which the user was a member.

8.8.5 Managing Group Accounts

In order to manage a number of similar users as a single entity, AIX provides the administrator with the group concept. Members of one group share the same permissions, the same attributes and limits, and so on.

Commands for managing group accounts are just like the user managing commands very much alike to the native AIX commands. The restrictions on NIS are just the same as for users, and therefore are not explained here in detail.

For more detailed information, please refer to Chapter 12 of the HACMP for AIX, Version 4.3: Administration Guide, SC23-4279.

8.8.6 C-SPOC Log

Because these commands are running and executing while distributed amongst the cluster, it could happen that something doesn’t work exactly like it should. The C-SPOC utility, therefore, maintains a log on the initiating node. It can be found under /tmp/cspoc.log.

Note that the initiating node doesn’t have to be the same in all cases, so the log file might be present on different cluster nodes, and doesn’t contain the same data.
