NAME
nwcm - view and change NetWare configuration parameters
SYNOPSIS
nwcm [-CcFqx -d parameter -D folder -h parameter -H folder -f
folder -L folder
-r parameter -R folder -s parameter=value -t parameter=value
-v parameter -V folder]
DESCRIPTION
The nwcm command lets you view and change various NetWare-
related configuration parameters, including those associated
with IPX/SPX, NUC, NVT, and SAP.
The nwcm command maintains a database of these parameters and
their associated values. The database is divided into logical
groups called folders (not analogous to the UnixWare Desktop
concept of folders).
See the subsection "nwcm Parameter Descriptions" for a list of
folders and the parameters they contain.
Options
-c Display the full path name of the configuration file.
-C Display the full path name of the configuration
directory. This is always the "basename" of the
configuration file.
-d parameter
Display the description strings (or name of the
parameters in the current locale) for parameter from the
message catalog.
-D folder
Display the description string (or name of the parameter
in the current locale) for all parameters in folder from
the message catalog. Using folder 0 lists all
parameters in all folders.
-f folder
Display the description string for folder from the
message catalog. Using folder 0 lists all parameters in
all folders.

nwcm(1M) nwcm(1M)
-F Display the number of folders.
-h parameter
Display the help string for parameter from the message
catalog.
-H folder
Display the help strings for all parameters in folder
from the message catalog. Using folder 0 lists all
parameters in all folders.
-L folder
List all of the parameters in the specified folder
(without displaying any parameter values). Using folder
0 lists all parameters.
-q When setting or resetting parameter values, do not print
out the new value.
-r parameter
Reset the value of parameter to its default value, as
specified in the configuration schema.
-R folder
Resets the values for all parameters in the specified
folder to their default values, as specified in the
configuration schema. Using a folder number 0 causes
all parameters to be reset to their default values.
(For script writers, a faster way of accomplishing this
task is to truncate the configuration file to zero
length.)
-s parameter=value
Sets the parameter to the indicated value.
-t param=value
Tests the indicated value to see if it is valid for the
named parameter.
-v parameter
View the value of parameter param.
-V folder
View the values of all parameters in folder. Using a
folder number of 0 displays all parameters and their
values.

-x Remove from the configuration file all parameters
associated with packages no longer installed.
Parameter Values
If you use spaces before or after the equal sign in the -s or
-t options, you must surround the entire parameter with
quotes. For example, the following two commands are both
valid:
nwcm -s burst_mode_protocol=on
nwcm -s "burst_mode_protocol = on"
The parameter descriptions below list some parameters with
supported values of on and off. For these parameters, nwcm
will also accept values of active and yes for on, and values
of inactive and no for off. Regardless of the value use to
set the parameter, current values for these parameters are
always reported as on or off by nwcm.

| | NVT. |
| | Supported values: on, off|
| | Default: on |
|____________________________|___________________________|
| spx_max_connections | This parameter specifies |
| | the maximum number of |
| | connections the SPX can |

| | memory resources. If the|
| | system is using NetWare |
| | print services, allow |
| | enough sockets for the |
| | print server, the |
| | printers, and other |
| | NetWare servers serviced |
| | by the print server. |
| | Systems which are |
| | configured for NVT |
| | services will probably |
| | need to increase this |
| | parameter since NVT now |
| | uses SPXII for its |
| | underlying protocol. |
| | Increase this parameter |
| | if connections are |
|____________________________|___________________________|

| | available. |
| | Supported values: 5 to |
| | 1024 |
| | Default: 100 |
|____________________________|___________________________|
| spx_max_sockets | This parameter specifies |
| | how many sockets SPX can |
| | use simultaneously for |
| | listening for connect |
| | requests from other end |
| | points. This parameter |
| | is configurable so that |
| | small systems can |
| | efficiently use allocated|
| | memory for optimal system|
| | performance. Increase |
| | the value if applications|
| | are failing because |
| | listening sockets cannot |
| | be opened. |
| | Supported values: 5 to |
| | 200 |
| | Default: 50 |
