NAME
nlist - view a list of NetWare users, servers, or volumes
SYNOPSIS
nlist [-abcn] [-o object_type] [-s server] [object]
DESCRIPTION
Use nlist to view a list of objects such as users, groups,
servers, or volumes on your internetwork. Information about
those objects is also displayed.
The available options are:
-a Active. This lists active users on the network. You
must be authenticated to a server before you can view
the list of users for that server. An asterisk (*)
appears next to your username in the list of current
users. Username lists current users for a given server,
each user's connection number, and the user's login
time.
-b Forces nlist to do a bindery lookup on the target
server. This is intended for use with NetWare 4.x
servers that may have both NetWare Directory Services
(NDS) and a bindery configured. For NetWare 3.x and
earlier systems, bindery lookup is the default. For
NetWare 4.x systems, an NDS lookup is the default.
-c Continuous listing. Scrolls the desired list non-stop.
-n Lists object type names only.
-o object_type
Lists user, group, server, or volume type information.
To view a group, replace object_typeobject type with the
group name. To view information about users, replace
object_type with the user. To view information about
volumes, replace object_type with the volume. Use
wildcard characters to view a group of users, servers,
or volumes. To view a specific object, replace the
object_type with the name of the object (wild card are
acceptable).
-s server
Lists information from the specified server. If -s is
not specified, information from the the primary server

displayed. [The information is obtained from the
primary server or the server specified with -s (if
any).]
