nwauth - Verify username/password
SYNOPSIS
nwauth [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password
| -n ]
DESCRIPTION
nwauth does nothing but logging into a NetWare server. If
the login was successful, an error code of 0 is returned.
If the login was not successful, an error code of 1 is
returned. It was designed for use by other programs who
want authenticate users via a NetWare server.
nwauth always expects a password on stdin. If the stdin is
a tty, then the user is prompted for a password. Otherwise
nwauth simply reads stdin for a password.
nwauth looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file
server and a user name. See nwclient(5) for more informa
tion. Please note that the access permissions of .nwclient
MUST be 600, for security reasons.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user name
If the user name your NetWare administrator gave to you
differs from your unix user-id, you should use -U to
tell the server about your NetWare user name.
