nwbpadd - Set the value of a NetWare Bindery Property
SYNOPSIS
nwbpadd [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P pass
word | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] [ -p
property ] value
DESCRIPTION
nwbpadd sets the value of a ITEM type property, and adds
bindery objects to a SET type property.
nwbpadd looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file
server, a user name and possibly a password. See
nwclient(5) for more information. Please note that the
access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for
security reasons.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither
-n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connec
tion to the server, nwbpadd prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the
login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before
they are sent to the server, because most servers
require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C.
-o object name
The name of the object to be touched.
-t object type
The type of the object. Object type must be specified
as a decimal value. Common values are 1 for user
objects, 2 for group objects and 3 for print queues.
Other values are allowed, but are usually used for spe
cialized applications.
The name of the property to be set.
value
If property is of type SET, value is an object id in
hexadecimal notation. Otherwise, value is either a
string value to be written, or a count of bytes to be
written. The latter is assumed if more than one value
argument is given. The count is decimal, and the fol
lowing arguments are interpreted as bytes in hexadeci
mal notation.
Examples:
All these examples assume the existence of the file
$HOME/.nwclient. Otherwise, the server and user would
have to be specified.
nwbpadd -o linus -t 1 -p groups_i\'m_in 030a0002
In this example, user linus is added to the group whose
ID is 030a0002. Please note that the ' has to be
quoted.
nwbpadd -o linus -t 1 -p identification "Linus Tor
valds"
User linus is given his real name :-).
nwbpadd -o linus -t 1 -p revision -v 04 00 00 01 0b
A new 4-byte binary value 0x0000010b (hi-lo order, no
byte-swapping) is added to the "REVISION" property of
the user "linus".
