Lots of things:
o The authority of the profile you signed on with.
o Which OpsNav components were installed
o The vagaries of WinDOS

Yes. You can write you own code to call the IBM APIs. You can use a 
crappy but working set of tools in QUSRTOOL on later OS releases. Or 
you can buy product quality code from me for $300 that will do all you 
could possibly want with NetServer from a command line**. See

**I'm not GUI-phobic. I use MacOS X and OS/2 every day (and suffer 
WinDOS occasionally). I just don't see why I should be forced to use 
the world's least reliable OS (WinDOS) to manage the world's most 
reliable (OS/400). Nor do I see why I should have to 
click,click,click,type,type,click,type,click,click,type,click to do 
something as simple as:
	ADDSMBSHR SHARE(PUBLIC) TYPE(*FILE) PATH('/public/docs') TEXT('Public 
Documents') PERMISSION(*READWRITE)
