HOME.EXE, SETHOME.EXE, Home directory maintenance utilities for
Novell NetWare LANs. (c) 1990-92, David Harris, All Rights Reserved.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
These two utilities allow you to set a user's home directory anywhere
on a NetWare LAN. They create and interrogate a property in the
NetWare Bindery. This gives you considerable freedom to arrange the
layout of your volumes, since you no longer need to use tedious
calculations based on the user's login name in your system login
script. SetHome and Home are totally free, and may be freely
distributed.
Comments or problem reports to David Harris, david@pmail.gen.nz.

Sethome adds a HOME_DIR property to the bindery entry of a user,
consisting of the fully expanded path to a user's home directory on
the file server. The full name is in the general form <VOL>:<PATH>
and can be any directory on the server. Using Sethome is a necessary
prelude to using HOME. Only SUPERVISOR-equivalent users can normally
create a HOME_DIR property, but once one exists, the user who owns it
can modify it.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Home.exe Usage: home [username] [/M] │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Home looks at the bindery entry for the specified user, or for the
logged user if none is specified, searching for a HOME_DIR property,
as created by Sethome. If the property exists, Home changes to the
directory it names. If the user is logged to a network drive, the
directory is changed on that drive; if the user is logged to a local
drive, Home changes to the first Network drive and sets the directory
there. Note that the user might not have rights to another user's
home directory, at which point Home will issue an error message and
perform no change.
Home [username] /M changes to the logged or specified user's mail
directory. This can be useful for retrieving files from Pegasus Mail,
which works in the mail directory. No HOME_DIR property need exist
for Home /M to work, but the only users other than the owner with
rights in SYS:MAIL/DIR should normally be SUPERVISOR-equivalent
users.
