nwgrant - Add Trustee Rights to a directory
SYNOPSIS
nwgrant [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P pass
word | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] [ -r
rights ] file/directory
DESCRIPTION
nwgrant adds the specified bindery object with the corre
sponding trustee rights to the directory.
nwgrant 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, nwgrant 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 added as trustee.
-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.
You must tell nwgrant which rights it should grant to
the bindery object. The new rights for the object is
specified by rights, which can be either a hexadecimal
number representing the sum of all the individual
rights to be granted or a string containing characters
representing each right. If rights are represented in
string format then the string must be bounded with
square brackets. Characters within the brackets may be
in any order and in either case. Spaces are allowed
between the brackets - in which case the entire string
should be quoted. Hexadecimal and character values for
the rights are shown in this table:
00 = no access
01 = read access = R
02 = write access = W
08 = create access = C
10 = delete access = E
20 = ownership access = A
40 = search access = F
80 = modify access = M
100 = supervisory access = S
for a possible total of "1fb" or "[SRWCEMFA]" for all
rights.
file/directory
You must specify the directory to which to add the
object as trustee. This has to be done in fully quali
fied NetWare notation.
Example:
nwgrant -S NWSERVER -o linus -t 1 -r fb
'data:home\linus'
With this example, user linus is given all rights
except supervisory to his home directory on the data
volume. This example assumes the existence of the file
$HOME/.nwclient.
nwgrant -o linus -t 1 -r fb
/home/linus/ncpfs/data/home/linus
With this example, user linus is given all rights
except supervisory to his home directory on the data
volume. This example assumes that NWSERVER is already
mounted on /home/linus/ncpfs mountpoint.
