I am trying to create user specific home directories under the \\Server\SYS\Users volume. Can you tell me how to set permissions for a particular user using the NJCL? I also need to set file system space restrictions for the user.

Here is an example of how to set the appropriate user permissions to a newly created folder (such as the user's home directory):

Object obj = dirContext.lookup
			(sPathToHomeDirectory);

NetwareDirectory directory =
			(NetwareDirectory)obj;
	Trustee trust = new Trustee
			("cn=joe,ou=sales,o=novell",
		Trustee.TA_READ | Trustee.TA_WRITE |
			Trustee.TA_CREATE |
		Trustee.TA_DELETE|Trustee.TA_MODIFY
			| Trustee.TA_SEARCH |
		Trustee.TA_OWNERSHIP);

directory.setTrustee(trust,
			DirContext.ADD_ATTRIBUTE);

The following sets space restrictions for a folder:

Object obj = dirContext.lookup
			(sPathToHomeDirectory);

NetwareDirectory nwDir =
			(NetwareDirectory)obj;
	DirectorySpaceInformation dirInfo =
			new DirectorySpaceInformation();

//Divided by 4 because file system is
			divided in blocks of 4KBs.
	dirInfo.setMaxAvailable
			(iSpaceRestrictionKBs / 4);
	nwDir.setDirectorySpaceInformation
			(dirInfo,DirContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE);
