- OBJSCAN
- By John M. Brown
- 5/1/90
-
- The Novell network stores information about network entities in the form of
- an "object". A Novell network object may be a file server, print server,
- bridge, network user, user group or any other network entity. This entity
- may be physical (like a file server) or logical (like a user group). This
- list of objects is stored in a special Novell database called a bindery.
- Associated with any object in the bindery is a set of properties that
- defines information about the object. These properties may include the
- network address, list of members, descriptive information, etc.
-
- OBJSCAN will display information about Novell Network objects.
-
- OBJSCAN has the following syntax:
-
- OBJSCAN objname|objid|objtype [prpname] [-P|-V|-H]
-
- objname - This may be the object name, the object ID or the object type. *
- and ? wild cards are acceptable. This argument alone will display
- the object name, object ID and object type of each object that
- matches up.
-
- prpname - This is the property name if you wish to list just a particular
- property of a given object. Including a property name will cause
- -V to be assumed unless otherwise noted. Wild cards are acceptable.
-
- -P - This will cause the property names to be listed under each
- object. The properties will be listed as they are found in the
- bindery table.
-
- -V - This will cause the property names to be listed along with the
- values of each property. The values will be listed as they appear
- in the bindery table. This option will attempt to decode the
- values into addresses, group or user names if possible. Otherwise
- it will display the information in a hex/text format similar to
- DOS debug.
-
- -H - This will display properties and values as with the -V option,
- but it will make no attempt to decode the information. All data
- will be displayed in a hex/text format.
-
- Object types currently defined in the program are as follows:
-
- 1 = Network User
- 2 = User Group
- 3 = Print Queue
- 4 = File Server
- 7 = Print Server
- 35 = Async Gateway
- 38 = Async Bridge
- 122 = MicroVax
- 258 = Bindery
- 321 = LanSpool Print Server
- 28416 = Rabbit Gateway

-
- To try out OBJSCAN, go into the Novell SYS:MAIL directory. Look at the
- directories there. These directory names are actually object id numbers.
- Try some of these user ID numbers as an argument to OBJSCAN. OBJSCAN will
- tell you who belongs to that ID. Go into the SYS:SYSTEM directory and check
- out the directories that have the user ID as their name. You will find out
- these belong to the queues defined for your server.
-
- Try OBJSCAN 2 GR* <Enter>. This will print out all groups along with the
- group members for your server. If you are using Async bridges, try OBJSCAN
- 38 <Enter> for a listing of all currently defined bridges. OBJSCAN 4
- <Enter> is where the SLIST program gets its information. OBJSCAN * <Enter>
- will display every object defined for your server.
