Where are the fcm keywords defined?

hi everyone,

i’m working to set up a new user and their fcm keywords aren’t being recognised, e.g. …

fcm info fcm:um.x

can anyone remind me where these enter into one’s environment?

i’ve set up loads of users before and don’t remember this specific issue coming up before!

thanks for any tips! :smile:

Normally keywords get configured centrally. If you run fcm version this will show you the location where FCM is installed. The keywords should be defined within the installation directory in etc/fcm/keyword.cfg.

To setup your own keywords put them in $HOME/fcm/keyword.cfg.

thanks for this! this was helpful in getting to the bottom of the error.

it turned out that the user hadn’t been made a member of the relevant HPC user group and so couldn’t access $UMDIR.

what this then meant was that they couldn’t access…

[FCM install dir]/etc/fcm/keyword.cfg

which is sym-linked to a dir path which can only be accessed if they’re a member of the HPC group in question!

cheers,

jonny
