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.

nwbocreate
NWBOCREATE(8) nwbocreate NWBOCREATE(8)
NAME
nwbocreate - Create a NetWare Bindery Object
SYNOPSIS
nwbocreate [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] [ -r read-flag ] [ -w write-
flag ]
DESCRIPTION
nwbocreate creates the specified NetWare Bindery Object.
nwbocreate 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, nwbocreate
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 created.
-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.
-r read-flag
-w write-flag
Read security and write security may each have one of the following values:
ANYONE: Anyone may access the object
LOGGED: Anyone who is logged in may access the
object
OBJECT: Anyone who is logged in as the object or
SUPERVISOR equivalent may access the
object
SUPERVISOR: Anyone who is logged in as SUPERVISOR
equivalent may access the object
NETWARE: Only the Bindery may access the object
