Pradd allows queues to be added to NDS printers. The default queue may be set, and priorities may be assigned to queues.

Prdel

Prdel allows queues to be removed from NDS printers. The default queue may be removed, but NetWare will automatically make the first of the ‘other’ queues the default.

Profiles

The profiles program adds profiles to users, replaces profiles for users or removes profiles for users. It can process a single user, or multiple selected via wildcards, group membership, or a list in a file. Profiles can create a profile object, but currently cannot assign a login script to it, but you can use lscripts to do this. It can also display the users of a particular profile either by scanning the objects which have rights to the profile script (this is quick), or by scanning the NDS tree (this may be slow).

Prusers

This displays the queues and operators associated with NDS printers. It is for use with pradd and prdel.

• Can list the printers associated with a print server, and optionally the printer numbers.

Pwdexp

Pwdexp is intended for use in a login script where it displays a warning if the user’s NetWare or Universal password is about to expire. The number of days before expiration at which warnings begin is adjustable and defaults to seven. Both text mode and GUI versions are available.

Pwdexp can also force a password change before or after password expiration. It will prompt for and change the password. However, there is a bug in all versions of Novell’s login programs where it still says the password has expired and asks if you want to change it, even when the password has already been changed by a program run within the login script.

The GUI version has a number of extra features including:

• Can change local, AD domain, NT domain, NDS for NT and simple passwords.
• Can force it to remain as the topmost window.
• Can force a delay before checking the password expiration status, to allow replication to occur if the password has been changed before the login script begins executing.
• Allows two lines of user supplied text to be displayed.
• Can control how long the window warning of impending password expiration remains open.
• Can prevent changing other passwords if the NetWare password is not changed successfully first.
• Can display a customer supplied icon or bitmap on the right of the window.
• Can force operations to occur on the server holding the master of the user’s replica.

Quotas

The quotas program combines the functionality of getquota and setquota for displaying and setting quotas in a GUI environment. The results are shown in a list view allowing selection of fields to be displayed and sorting by column. When displaying quotas, the quotas can do the following:

• Process a single user, multiple users selected using wildcards, all members of a group, or a list of users in a file. The quota, space used and space available may be displayed.
• Read the “Home Directory” attribute to show quotas on the home directory or home volume.
• Show all volume quotas on a volume.
• Summarize all usage on a volume based on file ownership.
• Show volume quotas for all selected users, across all volumes on a server.
• Filter on quota size, space used and space available so that for example, only those users without quotas, or users whose usage exceeds 200 MB are displayed.
• Display values in bytes, 4096 bytes blocks, KB, MB and GB.
• Calculate the usage for directories which do not have a quota on NSS volumes. Unlike traditional volumes, NSS keeps track of usage in a directory, only when a quota is set.
• Display usage as a percentage of the quota, or as a percentage of the total usage for all selected objects or directories.
• Displays values for queue directories and for paths pointed to by directory map objects.

The following features exist for setting quotas:

• Process a single user, multiple users selected using wildcards, all members of a group, or a list of users in a file.
• Read the “Home Directory” attribute to set quotas on the home directory or home volume.
• Set directory quotas for a single directory, all first level subdirectories of a directory, or for all directories in a tree.
• Set quotas to a given value, or adjust existing quotas by a given amount or percentage.
• Remove quotas.
• Prompt for confirmation before setting or modifying each quota.
• Quotas may be changed by right clicking on the appropriate column in the results list view.

Qwatch.nlm

Qwatch provides a means by which directory and volume quotas can be set via LDAP. It requires an auxiliary class named jrbsQuotas with two optional attributes named jrbsHomeVolumeQuota and jrbsHomeDirectoryQuota. These must be single valued integer attributes which qwatch can create if required. Qwatch monitors changes to the two attributes and when a change is detected, it sets the relevant quota on either the home directory, or on the volume on which the home directory resides. The presence of these two attributes also allows quotas to be read via LDAP provided that whatever program sets the quotas, also maintains the correct values in NDS. Programs in JRButils which set quotas have new options which allow this.

Renobj

Renobj allows renaming of NDS or bindery objects of any class or type. Features include:

• When renaming a user, it will check for the existence of an NDS “Home Directory” attribute or bindery HOME_DIR property. If either is found, renobj will rename the user’s home directory to match the user’s new name and update the contents of “Home Directory” attribute or HOME_DIR bindery property.
• Can specify the home directory path on the command line when the user does not have a “Home Directory” attribute or HOME_DIR property.
• Can process a file containing one old name and one new name per line.
• Can change the case of the names of existing NDS objects to all lowercase, all uppercase, or to a mixture of upper and lowercase.
• Can create an alias with the original name of the object and pointing to the renamed object.
• Can rename users in GroupWise, or relink the renamed NDS user with their corresponding GroupWise object.
• Updates the uniqueID attribute when renaming users.
• Updates the homeDirectory attribute (not to be confused with the “Home Directory” attribute) when the user belongs to the posixAccount auxiliary class.
• Can override “rename inhibit” status on home directories when renaming them.
• Can set the old name as a nickname when renaming a user in GroupWise.
• Can update the “Internet Email Address” and “Email Address” attributes.

Requests

Requests continuously displays the total requests, bytes read and bytes written for up to 20 connections since the program began running. This allows easy identification of workstations imposing the greatest load on a server. The output is sorted into descending order by whichever column you select, and the column on which you are sorting can be changed without restarting the program. Requests can perform a background authentication to the nominated server and works correctly across NDS trees. Both text mode and GUI versions are available. The GUI version can track more than 20 connections and can display the fields held open by each connection. It may also clear connections.

Note that this program currently does not work on OES Linux as the NCP function retrieving the bytes read and written is not fully implemented. It is expected that this will change in OES2 SP1.
