B.1 General Utilities

This section gives a list of the OpenText eDirectory utilities on Linux and their usage.

NOTE:After installation, ensure that you run the ndsconfig, ndscheck, and ndslogin utilities from the installed location on the server, which is /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin by default. Do not run ndsconfig from the installation package.

For more information on the usage of the OpenText eDirectory utilities, see the man page for each utility and Troubleshooting Utilities on Linux.
