Q101616: A Program to Generate Documentation on LAN Manager Servers

SUMMARY
=======

This article contains a REXX program that can be used to easily document much of
a server's configuration--including users, groups, resources and configurable
parameters.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To use the program do the following:

- Cut-and-paste the listing beginning with (including) the first dollar sign
  and continuing to (but not including) the pound sign.

- Search-and-replace the dollar sign with a forward slash (/).

- Save the file as LANDOC.CMD or some other *.CMD name.

There are three command line switches to the program:

- A or /A adds the results of "net access" to the document

- G or /G adds a verbose group listing to the document

- U or /U adds a verbose user listing to the document

"Verbose" means that instead of getting just a list of groups or users on the
server you will receive information on each individual group or user.

You must run this program at the server or other OS/2 machine while logged on
with ADMIN privileges. Examples of program execution at an OS/2 command prompt
are:

  landoc             (this produces minimum documentation)
  landoc a           (adds the "net access" results)
  landoc g           (adds group information)
  landoc u           (adds user information)
  landoc g u         (adds user and group information)
  landoc g u a       (maximum documentation)

NOTE: This program may take some time to run. It requires a minimum temporary
free disk space of approximately 24K plus 1K per user in NET.ACC and 1K per 30
groups in NET.ACC--if you use all options.
