-
- This readme file documents those utilities in this collection which are
- specifically aware of Novell NetWare (tm), and are designed to use its
- features directly. This is at present the main thrust of my development,
- so there are likely to be other such programs made freely available as
- time passes.
-
- As with the other programs in this collection, you are welcome to copy
- and give away these tools, but please don't sell them.

- │ Sethome.exe │
- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- Usage: sethome <username> <directory>
-
- Sethome adds a HOME_DIR property to the bindery entry of a user,
- consisting of the fully expanded path to a user's home directory on
- the file server. The full name is in the general form <VOL>:<PATH>
- and can be any directory on the server. Using Sethome is a necessary
- prelude to using HOME. Only SUPERVISOR-equivalent users can normally
- create a HOME_DIR property, but once one exists, the user who owns it
- can modify it.
-
-
- ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ Home.exe │
- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- Usage: home [username] [/M]
-
- Home looks at the bindery entry for the specified user, or for the
- logged user if none is specified, searching for a HOME_DIR property,
- as created by Sethome. If the property exists, Home changes to the
- directory it names. If the user is logged to a network drive, the
- directory is changed on that drive; if the user is logged to a local
- drive, Home changes to the first Network drive and sets the directory
- there. Note that the user might not have rights to another user's
- home directory, at which point Home will issue an error message and
- perform no change.
-
- Home [username] /M changes to the logged or specified user's mail
- directory. This can be useful for retrieving files from Pegasus Mail,
- which works in the mail directory. No HOME_DIR property need exist
- for Home /M to work, but the only users other than the owner with
- rights in SYS:MAIL/DIR should normally be SUPERVISOR-equivalent
- users.
