DESCRIPTION
With
nsend,
you can send messages to the user's workstations.
nsend
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 .nwclient MUST be 600, for security reasons.
OPTIONS
user
user
is the NetWare User-ID of the user to receive the message.
message
-S
server
server
is the name of the server you want to use.
-U
user name
If the user name your NetWare administrator gave to you differs
from your unix user-id, you should use
-U
to tell the server about your NetWare user name.
-P
password
You may want to give the password required by the server on the
command line. You should be careful about using passwords in scripts.
-n
-n
should be given to mount shares which do not require a password to log in.
If neither
-n
nor
-P
are given, nsend prompts for a password.
-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.
BUGS
nsend only supports servers with up to 255 connections. I do not know
the NCP functions for larger servers. If anybody knows them, please
tell me!
