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
information. Please note that the access permissions of .nwclient MUST
be 600, for security reasons.
