Unix/NFS group iepm 

File used to keep track of network group privs. It use the ypgroup Unix databases

To see who is in a group use the command*

netgroup <group_name>, e.g.
36cottrell@pinger:~>netgroup u-network-management
u-network-management
   (-,antony,)
   (-,cal,)
   (-,cottrell,)
   (-,cxg,)
   (-,jerrodw,)
   (-,kmartell,)

or

ypmatch <group_name> group
ypmatch <group_name> netgroup, e.g.
35cottrell@pinger:~>ypmatch u-network-management netgroup
(-,antony,)     (-,cal,)        (-,cottrell,)   (-,cxg,)        (-,jerrodw,)    (-,kmartell,)

or

ypgroup exam -group iepm

To add someone to a group use (Les can execute this command):

ypgroup adduser -group iepm -user pinger

# Please keep unix-admin & security notified when changes are needed, e.g. people changing function or moving etc.

#Note that people with privileges need to change their passwords at least every 9 months.

 To see which hosts use a netgroup

grep the files at /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/scs/systems/system.info/<machine>/taylor.opts.expanded looking for the group, e.g.

6cottrell@pinger:/afs/slac/g/scs/systems/system.info>grep u-iepm /afs/slac/g/scs/systems/system.info/i*/taylor.opts.expanded
/afs/slac/g/scs/systems/system.info/iepm-bw/taylor.opts.expanded:limit_login=u-iepm
/afs/slac/g/scs/systems/system.info/iepm-resp/taylor.opts.expanded:limit_login=u-iepm

N.b. replacing i* with * will probably result in /bin/grep: Argument list too long. Also note that as of 12/31/06 the hosts whose access is controlled by u-iepm are: iepm-bw, iepm-resp, monalisa, nettest5, and pinger

NFS file access

NFS file systems such as  /nfs/slac/g/net/pinger are exported to netgroup from netfs02, so it is available on all machines in that group. To see the full list of machines  that can access these files, you can type:

119cottrell@pinger:~>netgroup slac > ! /tmp/junk

and edit the file (/tmp/junk). The amd mountpoints are transient....they timeout when not in use.  So sometimes it will work to cd to /nfs/slac/g and you will see an entry for net/pinger, but if it has timed out you may not, even on pinger (unless something runs there that keeps it constantly available). Once the mountpoint has timed out you will have to cd to the full amd mount path which in this case is /nfs/slac/g/net/pinger to get amd to remount the space.

Unix/AFS groups

Purpose 

 afs path

contact(s) 

 SVN access

 /afs/slac/g/scs/net/netmon/repo/svn

 Cottrell

 

 

 

 

 

 

To see the names of groups and privileges on a particular directory, issue the command

fs la <directory>, e.g.
fs la .

or

fs la /afs/slac/g/scs/net/pinger

jerrodw@pinger $ fs la /afs/slac/g/scs/net/pinger/
Access list for /afs/slac/g/scs/net/pinger/ is
Normal rights:
&nbsp; maint-pkg-netmon rlidwk
&nbsp; g-scs rlidwka
&nbsp; system:slac rl
&nbsp; system:administrators rlidwka
&nbsp; system:authuser rl

To view members of a particular group listed from 'fs la', issue the command:

pts mem <group_name>, e.g.

jerrodw@pinger $ pts mem maint-pkg-netmon
Members of maint-pkg-netmon (id: \-4786) are:
&nbsp; <list of user_id's belonging to this group>

To add users to a particular group (only if you have privileges of course), issue the command

pts adduser \-group <group_name> \-user <user_id>

Network Test hosts

Please note that we would like to see network testing, especially WAN testing, done primarily and by convention from machines set aside for that purpose
(e.g. iepm-bw, iepm-resp, pinger), the list of network machines is kept at http://www-iepm.slac.stanford.edu/about/nodes.html

To find out who can logon to a specified host look at the /etc/passwd file on that host, look towards the end for things like
+@u-iepm
and use the netgroup u-iepm command to see who is in the group.
To find out what hosts u-iepm can logon to use:

#65cottrell@pinger:/afs/slac/g/scs/systems/system.info>grep u-iepm \*/passwd
#bping/passwd:+@u-iepm
#iepm-bw/passwd:+@u-iepm
#iepm-resp/passwd:+@u-iepm
#iepm-sol/passwd:+@u-iepm
#monalisa/passwd:+@u-iepm
#...

Sudo

The sudoers file can be found at:

/afs/slac/package/taylor/prod/base/sudoers

The following lines are in the sudoers file:

# NB: The following two aliases define collections of commands for use
# by members of the IEPM group on all machines and on the network
# trouble-shooting machine, pharlap, respectively.  In this context,
# "IEPM group" is not necessarily the same as the NIS group named
# "iepm"; changes to the commands in the two aliases, or to the users
# who should be authorized to use the commands, still need the usual
# approvals.

# Commands authorized for members of the IEPM group on all machines:
Cmnd_Alias IEPM_ALL     = NIKHEF_PING,PATHCHAR,PCHAR,PIPECHAR

# Commands authorized for members of the IEPM group on pharlap:
# The addition of PIPECHAR to this list of commands is granted for
# six months only and should be revisted May 28, 2002.
Cmnd_Alias IEPM_PHARLAP = SNOOP,TCPDUMP,NDD,PIPECHAR,KILL

The people in the sudoers file with privileges assigned by these two Cmnd_Alias-es are: cal, cottrell, cxg.

iepm group: cottrell, warrenm, cal, dougc, cxg, grosso
Pathchar	All	sudo /afs/slac/g/scs/bin/pathchar
Pchar		All	sudo /afs/slac/package/netperf/bin/@sys/pchar
Pipechar	All	sudo /afs/slac.stanford.edu/package/netperf/bin/@sys/pipechar
NIKHEF ping	All	sudo /afs/slac/package/nikhef/@sys/ping
#Snoop and tcpdump are big security exposures, so please be careful with their use.
#Probably a good idea to notify security (email just before you start) if you are
#going to use snoop and/or tcpdump
Snoop           Pharlap	sudo snoop
Tcpdump		Pharlap	sudo /afs/slac/package/netperf/bin/@sys/tcpdump

u-network-management: warrenm, cottrell, kmartell, cal, cxg, grosso, janewei, gtb
ssh		All

maint-pkg-nikhef: cxg, warrenm, dougc

The following have /usr/sbin/ndd -set privs and sudo kill (via cmd macro IEPM_PHARLAP) on pharlap (7/19/01):

cal, cottrell, cxg

Account iepm has sudo kill with no password on pharlap (12/14/01)

cottrell also has ndd -set for evagore (11/21/01)

iepm has pipechar with no password on pharlap and antonia (11/28/01)
