User Names

User names correspond to names in the corresponding passwd table in NIS+, the passwd map in NIS, or the /etc/passwd file under files. A user's file context is obtained from his or her passwd entry.

The types of objects that may be named relative to a user name are: service, and fs. For example:

• user/chou/service/fax names the fax service of the user chou.

• user/esperanza/fs/projects/conf96.doc names the file conf96.doc in the projects subdirectory of the user esperanza's file system.
