NAME

       fs_nukenfscreds - Discard NFS translator tokens

SYNOPSIS

       fs nukenfscreds -addr <host>
           [-help]

       fs nu -a <host>
           [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       When using the NFS translator, it is possible for clients to supply AFS tokens that the NFS translator
       will use for NFS-originating accesses from a specific host and uid. The fs nukenfscreds command, when run
       on the translator host, will destroy all tokens for all uids for a specific NFS client host. After this
       command is run successfully, all accesses for all users from that host will be unauthenticated until they
       provide AFS tokens again.

       This command can be useful in the following scenario. Say you have an NFS client machine accessing a
       translator, and the machine is decommissioned, and a new machine is brought up with the same IP. If there
       are credentials associated with certain uids from that host, it is possible that accesses from the new
       host will use the same credentials from the old host, even if they haven't authenticated. With the
       fs_nukenfscreds command, you can destroy all credentials associated with the machine when it is
       decommissioned, ensuring that that situation cannot occur.

OPTIONS

       -addr <host>
           Specifies which host to invalidate tokens for. Specify either a resolvable host name or an IP
           address.

       -help
           Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

OUTPUT

       If the specified tokens were destroyed successfully, no output is generated.

EXAMPLES

       The following example destroys credentials from all PAGs for the NFS translator client host
       198.51.100.20:

          % fs nukenfscreds -addr 198.51.100.20
