NWBPRM(8)							      nwbprm								 NWBPRM(8)

NAME

       nwbprm - Remove a NetWare Bindery Propery

SYNOPSIS

       nwbprm [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] [ -p property ]

DESCRIPTION

       nwbprm removes the specified NetWare Bindery Propery.

       nwbprm  looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information.
       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,  nwbprm
	  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 removed.

       nwbprm was written by Volker Lendecke with the corresponding Caldera utility in mind. See the Changes file of ncpfs for other contributors.
