- Whatever book said that is wrong, or you mis-read it. Novell login
- script commands and novell utility programs that are run from DOS are NOT
- the same thing.
-
- The login script command ATTACH functions as your describe
- above. You can specify a password by separating it with a semicolon. The
- DOS utility program ATTACH does not work like that, and is NOT
- documented to do so in Novell's manuals.
-
- Perhaps this could be added to the FAQ, as it was asked a few weeks ago here
- also.
-
- If you want to do this, create a terxtfile (PASSWORD.TXT, for example) that
- contains the password. Then use the command:
-
- ATTACH <server>/<user> < PASSWORD.TXT
