LNXENTS Keyword—Provide Sign on Information

Valid on z/OS and z/VM.

Use the LNXENTS keyword to provide signon information onto an acid for LINUX in addition to the LINUXNAM.

LNXENTS should be added to the acids specified in the OMVSUSR and OMVSGRP control options using the ALL facility. These LNXENTS entries act as a default for any users or groups who do not have LNXENTS specified on their acid. For information, see the OMVSUSR or OMVSGRP control options.

When used with a user, this keyword has the format:

TSS ADDTO(acid) LNXENTS(facility,UID|?,home,shell,group acid)   
                RANGE(xxx,xxx)

When used with a group, this keyword has the format:

TSS ADDTO(acid) LNXENTS(facility,GID|?)
                RANGE(xxx,xxx)
xxx,xxx

Specifies the range of numbers the UID/GID is selected from. The first number available is selected. If RANGE keyword is not specified, then the first available number starting at 500 is used.

When used with REMOVE, this keyword has the format:

TSS REMOVE(acid) LNXENTS(facility)
Facility

Multiple LNXENTS records are allowed on an acid, but must have only one defined per facility.

UID

Has the same functionality as the OMVS UID (see UID). This is a positive numeric value. If a user is assigned UID(0), then superuser privileges are assigned. Auto assignment is also specified by a “?” character and will find a number in a given range. The range of the auto assignment can be specified by using the RANGE keyword, or will simply find the first available number starting at 500 if no range is specified (some LINUX systems have the first 500 UIDs pre‑assigned).

Range: 0 to 2,147,483,647

Home

A home subdirectory for LINUX. See the HOME keyword for OMVS for more information).

Range: Up to 1024 characters.

Shell

The LINUX equivalent to OMVSPGM for OMVS. See the OMVSPGM keyword for OMVS for more information.

Range: Up to 1024 characters.

Group Acid

The default group acid from which the LINUX GID is used for the user at signon. This group acid must be one of the group acids defined on the user's acid.

When adding/replacing a LNXENTS onto a user acid, all of the fields are required. When adding/replacing onto a group acid, only the facility and the GID are allowed. When performing a remove, only the facility is allowed.
