NAME
nwchecksums - set client IPX checksum level
SYNOPSIS
nwchecksums [0 | 1 | 2 | 3]
DESCRIPTION
This command is used to set the base IPX checksum level for a
machine. Checksums take effect for all applications that use
the NetWare API libraries to gain access to NetWare servers.
If no levels are given, nwchecksums reads the value given in
the nwcm database and uses that value.
The levels are:
0 Client will not perform any IPX checksums.
1 Client will not request IPX checksums, but will perform
them if required by the NetWare server.
2 Client will request IPX checksums, but will not perform
them if the NetWare server cannot or will not support
them.
3 Client requires IPX checksums.

DIAGNOSTICS
A return code of 0 indicates success; anything else fails.
NOTES
Only a privileged user can run this command.
This command is used in the /etc/rc2.d/S27nuc startup script
and is run automatically when the system boots.
Once a base IPX checksum level is set, a user or application
may increase the level for new connections but cannot lower
that level below the base.
Once a base IPX checksum is set, this command may be used to
increase the level only. To decrease the IPX checksum level,
edit the nwchecksums command in the /etc/rc2.d/S27nuc script
