CLI NSS Volume owner information

[markfritz]

Hi everyone,

I've been struggling to find any information on wether this is possible or not. Is there a tool that will show me who the owner of a file on an NSS volume from the linux command line.

I've looked through the nsscon and tried rights, attrib, metamig and ncpcon and have not been able to see where it shows who the owner of a file is.

I'm trying to script and automated file checker that will notify people close to their quota where all their files are.

Forgot the info:

ls -l

That only shows me either 'admin' or 'nobody' and not the edirectory owner of the file.

hi,

I think if the owners are LUM enabled ll and other Linux tools to show them. Otherwise you'll have to use NSS zAPIs or the VFS interface to get them off NSS(I think). The VFS is a lot easier. You pass in a XML request and it sends out a XML reply... Its doced here:http://developer.novell.com/documentation/vfs/vfs__enu/index.html?page=/documentation/vfs/vfs__enu/data/bktitle.html

Look at the "getFileInfo" request in the "files.cmd Definitions" heading...

Good Luck!

We use nsschown for listing eDir information (owner and context)

The file sintax is Novell-like (Volume:\PATH\FILE)

Example for a folder (no recursive):

nsschown -l "VOLUME:/TEMP" -a -r no
