P
For example, to change your DOS prompt at the command line so that the
prompt displays the current drive mapping followed by the > symbol, you
would type
SET PROMPT=$P$G <Enter>
See your respective DOS manual for further details on changing prompts,
including prompt variables. (The NetWare server console prompt can't be
changed.)
See also “Drive mapping”; “Login scripts.”
Property
A characteristic of a NetWare Directory Services object. Each type of object
(such as a User object, Organization object, or Profile object) has certain
properties that hold information about the object.
For example, a User object’s properties include login name, E-mail address,
password restrictions, group memberships, etc.
As another example, a Profile object’s properties include profile name, login
script, volume, etc.
The only properties required for objects are those you enter when you create
a new object. You must enter a value in each field.
Properties you must enter when you create an object can be properties that
name the object, or properties required to create the object but that don’t
name it.
For example, when you create a volume object, you must specify the host
server that the volume is attached to.
Many of an object’s properties can contain multiple values. For example, the
telephone number property, found in many object types, can contain several
different telephone numbers.
The NETADMIN and NetWare Administrator utilities allow you to see and
change properties for any object that you have sufficient rights to.
