NAME
nwbpset - Create a bindery property or set its value
SYNOPSIS
nwbpset [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C
]
DESCRIPTION
nwbpset Reads a property specification from the standard input and
creates and sets the corresponding property. The format is determined
by the output of ’nwbpvalues -c’. nwbpset will hopefully become an
important part of the bindery management suite of ncpfs, together with
´nwbpvalues -c´. See util/nwbpsecurity for an example.
As another example, look at the following command line:
nwbpvalues -t 1 -o supervisor -p user_defaults -c |\
sed ’2s/.*/ME/’|\
sed ’3s/.*/LOGIN_CONTROL/’|\
nwbpset
With this command, the property user_defaults of the user object
´supervisor´ is copied into the property login_control of the user
object ´me´.
nwbpvalues -t 1 -o me -p login_control -c |\
sed ’9s/.*/ff/’|\
nwbpset
This command disables the user object me.
Feel free to contribute other examples!
nwbpset 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 connection to the server, nwbpset
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.
