Nonprivileged mount and unmount authority z/OS UNIX System Services Planning GA32-0884-00 |
|
Nonprivileged users must meet certain requirements before
they can mount z/OS® UNIX file systems. They must have
the following access permissions:
In addition, the directory that the file system is to be mounted on must be an empty directory. If it has the sticky bit on, the user must be the owner of that directory. If the mount point directory is in a remote type file system (for example, NFS), then the owner UID of the mount point directory must match the UID of the user. If the file system root has the sticky bit on, the user must be the owner of the root. For remote type file systems (for example, NFS), the owner UID of the file system root must match the UID of the user. To unmount file systems, the nonprivileged user must have read access to SUPERUSER.FILESYS.USERMOUNT profile. The file to be unmounted must have been mounted by that nonprivileged user. The nonprivileged user must also still have access to the file system root and if the sticky bit is on, must still be the owner. When a nonprivileged user mount fails, message BPXF084I is issued to the hardcopy log. Use the MAXUSERMOUNTSYS and MAXUSERMOUNTUSER statements in the
BPXPRMxx parmlib member to specify mount limits for nonprivileged
users.
The most recent specification is used for each system that is participating in a shared file system configuration. To set these values, you must specify them in the BPXPRMxx parmlib member. You can use the SETOMVS or SET OMVS command later to dynamically increase or decrease each of them. However, dynamically changing the values does not affect currently mounted file systems. If you want to use nonprivileged user mounts, you must ensure that MAXUSERMOUNTSYS and MAXUSERMOUNTUSER are both nonzero. If a value for MAXUSERMOUNTSYS or MAXUSERMOUNTUSER is not specified in BPXPRMxx, the system uses the default value for them. For a single system, the default value is 0. For the first IPLed system in the shared file system configuration, the default value is 0. For a subsequently IPLed system in the shared file system configuration, the default value is what other systems have at the time when the subsequent system is being IPLed.
