nwlogin --
log user into a NetWare file server
Synopsis
nwlogin server_name [/user_name]
Description
nwlogin logs a user into the specified NetWare® file server.
If a user name is specified, nwlogin uses it. If a user name is
not specified, nwlogin uses the UNIX login name.
nwlogin prompts for your NetWare password, then uses it to log
in to the specified NetWare server. After the login and password are
verified, you are logged in to the NetWare server. If the login succeeds,
no results are displayed.
Once logged in, you have access to NetWare resources such as files,
directories, and printers.
Options
The nwlogin options are:
- server_name
-
The name of the file server to log into.
- user_name
-
The NetWare login name. If it is not specified, nwlogin uses
the user's UNIX login name. If that name is root, it uses the
NetWare login name supervisor.
The important features of a NetWare login are:
-
The NetWare login does not create a new shell. Rather, it creates a
mapping between the UNIX UID and the NetWare login.
-
NetWare logins remain valid after you log out of the UNIX system;
you must explicitly log out of a NetWare server (See
nwlogout(1nuc)).
-
Each NetWare server requires a separate login before it can be accessed.
-
To print, you must be logged in to the NetWare server until the print
job is queued on the NetWare print queue.
