NAME
       nwbpset - Create a bindery property or set its value

SYNOPSIS
       nwbpset  [  -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P pass-
       word | -n ] [ -C ]

DESCRIPTION
       nwbpset Reads a property specification from  the  standard
       input and creates and sets the corresponding property. The
       format is determined by the  output  of  'nwbpvalues  -c'.
       nwbpset  will  hopefully  become  an important part of the
       bindery management suite of ncpfs, together with

       As another example, look at the following command line:

         nwbpvalues -t 1 -o supervisor -p user_defaults -c |\
         sed '2s/.*/ME/'|\
         sed '3s/.*/LOGIN_CONTROL/'|\
         nwbpset

       With this command, the property user_defaults of the  user
       object 'supervisor' is copied into the property login_con-
       trol of the user object 'me'.

         nwbpvalues -t 1 -o me -p login_control -c |\
         sed '9s/.*/ff/'|\
         nwbpset

       This command disables the user object me.

       Feel free to contribute other examples!

       nwbpset 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  $HOME/.nwclient  MUST  be 600 for
       security reasons.

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

       -S server
          server is the name of the server you want to use.

       -U user
          user is the user name to use for login.

       -P password
          password is the password to use for login.  If  neither
          -n  nor  -P  are  given,  and  the  user  has  no  open

          connection to the server, nwbpset prompts for  a  pass-
          word.

       -n
          -n  should  be given if no password is required for the
          login.

       -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.
