set Subcommand

This subcommand sets properties to a share group. Note the following conditions:

• If you do not change the protocol currently associated with the group, the previous property value is replaced with the new value.

• If you specify a different protocol for the group, the new properties for the different protocol are added to the existing shares.

A group can be associated with more than one protocol and can have different properties for each protocol.

This subcommand supports the following options:

-n

Checks the validity of the command-line string.

-P

Specifies a file-system type.

-p

Specifies a property for the share group.

-S

Specifies the security mode, such as sys, dh, or krb5. For more information about security modes, see the nfssec(5) man page.

-s

Specifies the path to the share, which is a file or a directory.

-h

Provides an online-help description.

This subcommand uses the following syntax:

# sharemgr set [-h] [-n] [-P protocol] [-s share-path] [-S security-mode] [-p property=value] share_group

The following example sets the user ID for unknown users in my_group to 1234546:

example01# sharemgr set -p anon=123456 my_group

In the next example, the following occurs:

• my_group continues to use NFS.

• Previously, nosuid was set to true. Because set replaces the previous value for nosuid with the new value, the functions, setuid() and setgid(), can now be used on the shares in my_group.

• The permissions for the group continue to be set to read-write.

example02# sharemgr create -P nfs -p rw=true -p nosuid=true my_group	
example02# sharemgr set -P nfs -p nosuid=false my_group
