Mario Fetka f214e89d69 tests: add Novell DOS tool baseline suite
Add DOS-side baseline scripts for the Novell tools used to compare the
reimplemented public utilities.

The suite covers the current baseline set:

  MAP
  SLIST
  WHOAMI
  LOGIN / LOGOUT
  NDIR
  NCOPY
  FLAG
  FLAGDIR
  CREATOR
  RIGHTS
  GRANT
  REVOKE
  REMOVE

It also includes supporting trustee, rights, rename, move, delete and
file-operation tests.

Each test writes reproducible output into a per-tool CMP directory and
provides a matching ZIP helper for collecting the results. The ZIP
helpers clean generated test trees afterwards so SYS: does not keep
accumulating temporary directories.

This is the Novell baseline layer only. A later change can extend the
same scripts to run the full comparison cycle:

  NPUBLIC baseline -> PUBLIC implementation -> NPUBLIC control

WHOAMI baseline test

This directory contains a Novell WHOAMI baseline test for MARS NWE.

Files

  • WHOSTA.BAT - runs the baseline test and writes results to F:\WHOCMP.
  • WHOZIP.BAT - packs the result directory into F:\WHOCMP\WHOSTA.ZIP.

Run

Run while logged in as the user whose identity/context should be captured, normally SUPERVISOR:

F:
CD WHOSTA
WHOZIP

Coverage

The test uses Novell baseline tool \NPUBLIC\WHOAMI and captures:

  • default WHOAMI
  • explicit server WHOAMI MARS
  • documented options: /SECURITY, /GROUPS, /WORKGROUPS, /RIGHTS, /SYSTEM, /OBJECT, /ALL
  • missing-server case with NWBYGONE01
  • bad-option case
  • help text from WHOAMI /?

Known usage from Novell baseline:

Usage:
WHOAMI [Server] [/Security] [/Groups] [/WorkGroups] [/Rights] [/SYstem]
       [/Object] [/All] [/Continuous]

The output is login-context dependent, so later comparisons should normalize user/server/date/session-specific lines where needed.
