Look for HOBJLOC on Novells or Fastlanes site. This is a hidden object locator. I use it to see if I have gained any of these little creatures... Best of Luck!

The following MUST be done as an admin(supervisor) 1) Start NWADMIN 2) Create a user 3) Give the user supervisor equivalence (Note: Not required, but why not) 4) Right click on the user. 5) Select Trustees 6) Delete Root and Public trustees 7) Select the user and change its rights(Object and Property) 8) Assign ONLY Supervisor 9) Select Inherited Rights Filter 10) Deselect all values(NO boxes should be marked) 11) Return to main NWADMIN screen(HIT OK TWICE, I think) 12) Refresh the screen(Can be done by clicking on the tree name where the user account was created) 13) The user account is GONE. Execute some native Netware commands. Try this one which will list all detailed information on all users. NLIST USER /D The newly created account is now missing. Now try to assign a password to the account. SETPASS USERNAME You get an error message stating that you must be a manager to change the password. Solution: Unknown Workaround: To delete this account. You must start the server in bindery mode. Add SET BINDERY CONTEXT command in AUTOEXEC.NCF(Note: You must set the context to the one in which the account was created). Utilize the USERDUMP tool to ID the account, if you have not done so already. Next, use CHGPASS to change the user accounts password. Login in as that user, and reverse the previous procedure to hide the user account. Specifically, adding PUBLIC and ROOT as trustees. USERDUMP and CHGPASS are publicly available tools.
