nwsignatures -- change the NetWare security level

Synopsis

nwsignatures [-s security_level [-p]]

Description

nwsignatures sets the packet security level for the server. It works only when invoked by root.

Options

If no arguments are specified, nwsignatures returns the current security level.

If a security level is specified using the -s option, nwsignatures tries to set the baseline signature level to that value. The level can only be increased, not lowered, so if the specified security level is less than the current level, nwsignatures will fail. If it is invoked illegally, or with ``?'', the command prints its usage message and a short description of the four security levels.

The security levels are as follows:

0
No security: the server does not sign packets.

1
Low security: the server signs packets only if the client requests it; that is, if the client level is 2 or more.

2
Medium security: the server signs packets if the client can sign them; that is, if the client level is 1 or more.

3
High security: the server signs packets and requires the client to sign them; otherwise, logging in fails.
The -p option, used in conjunction with -s, also sets the NUC signature level to security_level.
