Customizing the user environment

Creating, modifying, copying, and printing login scripts

To create or modify login scripts and to copy one object's login script into another's, you can use either NetWare Administrator or NETADMIN. Both procedures are described in this topic.

NOTE: If you are logged in to a server running NetWare 2 or NetWare 3 and that server is in a Directory tree, do not create or edit a login script using the SYSCON utility. If you do, the changes to that login script will not appear in your NetWare Directory Services login script. The reason is that your NetWare Directory Services login script is a property of your User object, while your bindery-based login script is a file in your MAIL directory.

The main difference in creating container, profile, and user login scripts is the object you select to contain the login scripts:

Container login scripts are assigned to container objects (Organization or Organizational Unit objects).
Profile login scripts are assigned to Profile objects. For a User object to use a profile login script, you must select that User object and assign it to the Profile.
User login scripts are assigned to User objects.

All types of login scripts use the same conventions, commands, and variables.
