NWAUTH(1)

NAME
       nwauth - Verify username/password

SYNOPSIS
       nwauth [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password
        | -n ]

DESCRIPTION
       nwauth does nothing but logging into a NetWare server.  If
       the  login was successful, an error code of 0 is returned.
       If the login was not successful, an error  code  of  1  is
       returned.  It  was  designed for use by other programs who
       want authenticate users via a NetWare server.

       nwauth always expects a password on stdin. If the stdin is
       a tty, then the user is prompted for a password. Otherwise
       nwauth simply reads stdin for a password.

       nwauth looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to  find  a  file
       server  and a user name. See nwclient(5) for more informa-
       tion. Please note that the access permissions of .nwclient
       MUST be 600, for security reasons.

OPTIONS
       -h
          -h is used to print a short help text.

       -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.
