Sun Microsystems 2.1 manual where username is a Solaris login name

For the -d(delete) option, <title_users> stands for a comma-separated list of items of the form:

u[ser]:<username>

...where <username> is a Solaris login name.

The -s, -m, and -doptions accept an asterisk in the <username> field, so that you can specify ACL changes for all users on a server. You must use a backslash (\) with an asterisk, to prevent the shell from expanding the asterisk to mean the files in the local directory.

For the -foption, <filename> is a text file containing a list of entries of the form of <acl_entries>, above. Comments in the file, indicated by a hash mark (#) in column 1, are ignored by smc_settacl.

You cannot use the -sand -foptions with any other option. You can combine -mand -d. The -soption replaces the current title ACL with the entry or entries you specify. The -moption modifies the title ACL. Using -m, if you specify a user who is not in the title ACL, that user is appended to the ACL. If you specify a user who is in the ACL, that user’s permissions are changed to what you specify.

For all options, you can specify one or more title names, any of which can be local or remote. Separate multiple title names with a space between each pair. For a remote title, you prepend the name of the Sun MediaCenter server and a colon to the title name. You can use an asterisk in the title name field to stand for all titles on a server.

smc_settacl has a companion command, smc_gettacl, which displays the ACL for a specified title in the format used by smc_settacl. smc_gettacl is useful in assigning the values in one title’s ACL to another title. For example, after you copy titles from the server adam to the server eve, you want to give your colleague Raj permissions to the files you just copied. Raj has r, w, a permissions on the title ben_hur. You enter:

adam% smc_gettacl ben_hur smc_settacl -f - eve:\*

As with smc_settacl, smc_gettacl accepts multiple, space-separated title names.

Every title must have at least one user with admin permission. If you attempt to set or modify a title ACL such that all users with admin permission would be removed or have their admin permission removed, smc_settacl retains the last user with admin permission.
