3 pts_listmax - Displays the max user id and max group id counters
10 B<pts listmax> S<<< [B<-cell> <I<cell name>>] >>> [B<-noauth>] [B<-localauth>]
11 [B<-force>] [B<-help>] [B<-auth>] [B<-encrypt>]
12 S<<< [B<-config> <I<config directory>>] >>>
14 B<pts listm> S<<< [B<-c> <I<cell name>>] >>> [B<-n>] [B<-l>] [B<-f>] [B<-h>]
15 [B<-a>] [B<-e>] S<<< [B<-co> <I<config directory>>] >>>
22 The B<pts listmax> command displays the values of the C<max user id> and
23 C<max group id> counters, which the Protection Server uses to track the
24 AFS user IDs (AFS UIDs) it allocates to new users or machines, and the AFS
25 group IDs (AFS GIDs) it allocates to new groups, respectively. When an
26 administrator next issues the B<pts createuser> command and does not
27 include the B<-id> argument, the new user or machine receives an AFS UID
28 one greater than the C<max user id> counter, and when a user issues the
29 B<pts creategroup> command and does not include the B<-id> argument, the
30 new group receives an AFS UID one less (more negative) than the C<max
33 To reset one or both counters, members of the system:administrators group
34 can issue the B<pts setmax> command.

46 The command displays the counters in the following format:
48 Max user id is <user_counter> and max group id is <group_counter>.
52 The following example displays the output of this command:
55 Max user name is 1271 and max group id is -382.
