NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     project - project membership file

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The /etc/project file contains for	each user a comma separated list of
     all projects for which the	user is	authorized.  For example, an entry for
     the user "rdb" might look like this:

	  rdb:genuser,sysadm,kerndev

     which indicates that "rdb"	is authorized for the projects genuser,	sysadm
     and kerndev.

     The first project in a user's entry is considered to be the user's
     default project, and will be assigned to the user's array session during
     login.  The user can switch to the	other projects using the newproj(1)
     command.

     project is	an ASCII file.	A "#" at the beginning of a line indicates a
     comment.  The "#" is only recognized at the beginning of a	line, it
     should not	be used	after the project list.	 The user name and project
     list fields are separated by colons; each user is separated from the next
     by	a new-line.  Except at the beginning of	each line, white-space is not
     ignored, thus in most cases there should be no spaces e.g.	in the project
     list.

     This file resides in the /etc directory.  Because it contains no
     passwords,	it can and does	have general read permission.

     Like user and group ids, project ids are stored as	numeric	values by
     IRIX.  The	mapping	from ASCII project names to numeric project ids	is
     contained in the file /etc/projid.

     Users that	do not have entries in the project file	or whose entries
     contain only invalid project names	will be	assigned a system default
     project ID.  This project ID is defined in	the system variable dfltprid,
     which can be examined and/or modified using systune(1).
