# nwrevoke(8)

Revoke a Trustee Right from a directory

## NAME

nwrevoke - Revoke a Trustee Right from a directory

## SYNOPSIS

**nwrevoke** \[ **-h** \] \[ **-S** *server* \] \[ **-U** *user name* \] \[ **-P** *password* \| **-n** \] \[ **-C** \] \[ **-o** *object name* \] \[ **-t** *type* \] \[ **-r** *rights* \] **file/directory**

## DESCRIPTION

**nwrevoke** revokes the specified bindery object with the corresponding trustee rights from the directory.

**nwrevoke** looks up the file *$HOME/.nwclient* to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See [nwclient(5)](/nwclient/5.md) 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, nwrevoke prompts for a password.

- **-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**.

**-o** *object name*

The name of the object to be added as trustee.

**-t** *object type*

The type of the object. *Object type* must be specified as  a decimal value. Common values are 1 for user objects, 2 for group  objects and 3 for print queues. Other values are allowed, but are  usually used for specialized applications. If *object type* is not specified, *object name* is taken as **NDS** name.

**file/directory**

You must specify the file/directory from which to remove the object as trustee. If you specified **-S**, it must be fully qualified  NetWare notation for DOS namespace. Otherwise it must be file or directory mounted to your system using ncpfs.

Example:

nwrevoke -S NWSERVER -o linus -t 1 'src:bsd\_src'

With this example, user linus is removed as trustee from the bsd\_src directory on the src volume on server NWSERVER.

nwrevoke -o linus -t 1 /home/vana/ncpfs/nwserver/src/bsd\_src

With this example, user linus is removed as trustee from the bsd\_src directory.

nwrevoke was written by Volker Lendecke with the corresponding NetWare utility in mind. See the Changes file of ncpfs for other contributors.
