NWBPADD(8)

NAME
       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.

       -p property
          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 os_hackers

          In  this  example,  user  linus  is  added to the group
          os_hackers. 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".
