There are a couple of things you can do:
1. Make it a capability field, and you should be able to
Edit->Modify/Describe->Object from the Netview GUI and update it from
there.
2. Use a C program (I have one I could send you) or use the nvsnifferd
program. You'll have to make your own config file - be sure to read the
man pages on it. It involves finding a TCP port that you can connect to
on the server. (Telnet, for example). You can run it for just a single
node using a private config file. It will even make a collection for
you.
