Viewing and Modifying Server and File System
Information
You can view and modify information about NetWare servers, volumes, files,
and folders. For volumes, files, and folders, this information includes
attributes, owners, and time of last modification or backup.
HINT: Attributes control how files and folders are handled during processes like
compression, backup, and migration. They also control access to specific files and
folders, overriding individual trustee (rights) assignments.
For volumes, you can also view current usage statistics and information about
which file system features are enabled and disabled. For servers, you can view
the current status, NetWare version number, and network address. You can
also assign console operators and record information about the resources,
services, and users supported by the server.
