Hi all,
I am changing the root password periodically from eg: password01 to password02. However, I can still use password01 after it is changed, it seems that it only authenticates up the first few characters.

nwbpcreate
NWBPCREATE(8) nwbpcreate NWBPCREATE(8)
NAME
nwbpcreate - Create a NetWare Bindery Propery
SYNOPSIS
nwbpcreate [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] [ -p property ] [ -s ] [ -r
read-flag ] [ -w write-flag ]
DESCRIPTION
nwbpcreate creates the specified NetWare Bindery Propery.
nwbpcreate looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa-
tion. 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, nwbpcreate
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.
-o object name
The name of the object to be touched.
-t object type
The type of the object. Object type must be specified as a decimal value. Common values are 1 for user objects, 2 for group objects and
3 for print queues. Other values are allowed, but are usually used for specialized applications.
-p property
The name of the property to be created.
-s
By default, nwbpcreate creates properties of type ITEM. If you want to create a property of type SET, such as groups_i'm_in, you must
use the -s option.
-r read-flag
-w write-flag
Read security and write security may each have one of the following values:
ANYONE: Anyone may access the property
LOGGED: Anyone who is logged in may access the
property
OBJECT: Anyone who is logged in as the object or
SUPERVISOR equivalent may access the
property
SUPERVISOR: Anyone who is logged in as SUPERVISOR
equivalent may access the property
NETWARE: Only the Bindery may access the property
