.TH NWCLIENT 5 12/27/1995 nwmount nwmount

.SH NAME
|
|
nwclient \- configuration file for NWClient program suite
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This manual page describes the rather simple format of the file
|
|
.B $HOME/.nwclient,
|
|
the configuration file for the NWClient program suite.
|
|
.SH FILE FORMAT
|
|
The file
|
|
.B $HOME/.nwclient
|
|
consists of several lines, each describing a NWClient
|
|
connection. Lines beginning with # and empty lines are ignored as
|
|
comments.
|
|
|
|
Because you can store passwords in .nwclient, the user programs will
|
|
only scan .nwclient when only the file owner has access rights to
|
|
the file. The file must be have permissions 0600.
|
|
|
|
To specify a NWClient connection, the name of the file server, the
|
|
user name to be used and a password is necessary. The server name and
|
|
the user name are specified as SERVER/USER, and the password is
|
|
separated by a blank. The password field can be omitted. In this case
|
|
the user programs will ask you for a password. If you specify the
|
|
password to be just a dash, then no password is used.
|
|
|
|
The first valid specification has a special meaning: If the user does
|
|
not name a server on the command line, the first specification is used
|
|
as a 'preferred connection'.
|
|
|
|
An example might be the following:
|
|
|
|
# The preferred connection, the user is asked
|
|
# for a password
|
|
FS311/ME
|
|
# And a passwordless account on another server
|
|
CD-SERV/GUEST -
|
|
|
|
With these lines in $HOME/.nwclient, calling 'nwmount /mnt' will mount
|
|
the the file server FS311 with user name ME on /mnt after asking the
|
|
user for a password.
|
|
|
|
\'nwmount -S cd-serv /cd' will silently mount the server cd-serv on /cd.
|
|
|
|
.B nprint
|
|
,
|
|
.B pqlist
|
|
and other user programs that require a valid login also look up
|
|
.I $HOME/.nwclient
|
|
to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the access permissions of .nwclient MUST be 600, for
|
|
security reasons.
