Mario Fetka 5da600c2a5 dosutils: match Novell paths for flags and trustees
Move FLAG, GRANT and REMOVE closer to the request paths used by the
Novell tools and extend the DOS comparison tests.

FLAG now reads attributes through the old NCP22 directory scan path and
writes them through NCP22/25 Set Directory/File Information. This keeps
extended attributes such as Delete Inhibit and Rename Inhibit intact and
matches the Novell behavior observed in the server logs.

GRANT now prefers NCP22/27 SetTrustee with an NCP87 fallback. Supervisor
rights are expanded like Novell does, so granting S sends and reports the
full SRWCEMFA mask. The visible output, path formatting and error text
are adjusted to match the Novell baseline.

REMOVE now prefers NCP22/2B DelTrustee with an NCP87 fallback. The
DelTrustee request layout is corrected, /SUBDIRS handling is aligned
with Novell, and the output/error text is matched to the baseline.

The FLAG, FLAGDIR, GRANT and REMOVE tests now compare NPUBLIC baselines
against the PUBLIC implementations and add delayed NOPASSUSER readback
checks using DLYSTRT and the maintainer LOGIN password option.

FLAGDIR automated compare test

Compares Novell NPUBLIC\FLAGDIR against the current PUBLIC\FLAGDIR.

Run

For the direct compare only:

FDGTSTA

For the automatic NOPASSUSER context block, set the maintainer-login password:

SET LGNTPWD=your-supervisor-password
FDGTSTA

FDGTSTA starts C:\FDGTMP\FDGC.BAT through DLYSTRT, logs in as NOPASSUSER, runs NPUBLIC\FLAGDIR and PUBLIC\FLAGDIR, logs back in as SUPERVISOR with F:\LOGIN\LOGIN /PWD:, and then queues FDGTSTA PART2.

Package manually:

FDGTZIP
