Customizing the User Environment

When mapping to a directory on a bindery-based server or to an NDS server

that isn’t your current server, begin the path with the server’s name.

Replace option with one of the following:

• DISPLAY ON/OFF: Determines whether drive mappings are displayed on the

screen when the user logs in. The default setting is ON. This option is valid only

in login scripts.

• ERRORS ON/OFF: Determines whether MAP error messages are displayed

when the user logs in. MAP ERROR OFF must be placed before MAP commands

in the login script. The default setting is ON. This option is valid only in login

scripts.

• INS: Inserts a drive mapping between existing search mappings. This option is

valid in login scripts and at the DOS command line.

• DEL: Deletes a drive mapping, making that drive letter available for other

mapping assignments. This option is valid in login scripts and at the command

line.

• ROOT: Maps a fake root. Some applications require their executable files to be

located in a root directory.

Since you may not want users to have rights at the root directory, you can map a

fake root to a subdirectory instead. This option is valid in login scripts and at the

command line.

• C (CHANGE): Changes a search drive mapping to a regular mapping and a

regular mapping to a search drive mapping. This option is valid in login scripts

and at the command line.

• NP (No prompt): When a MAP command conflicts with an existing drive

mapping, MAP NP eliminates the prompt that asks the user if the new drive

mapping should overwrite the old mapping.

This option is valid only at the command line.

• P (Physical): Maps a drive to the physical volume of a server rather than to the

Volume object’s name.

It is possible to have a Volume object name that conﬂicts with a physical volume

name. (For example, object ACCT is an Accounting volume, but there is also an

ACCT which is a physical volume.)

Therefore, if you prefer to map a drive to the physical volume name, use MAP P.

This option is valid in login scripts and at the command line.

• N (Next): When used without specifying a drive number or letter, maps the next
