ABSTRACT

The fact that each Net Ware file server, running Net Ware versions prior to 4.0, maintains its own bindery can create a lot of administrative work in organizations with dozens or hundreds of file servers. If a supervisor wants to give a new user access to, say, six servers, he or she must log on to each server and follow the preceding steps. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to say simply: "Here's the account name for this user. Give her access to these six file servers"? What's needed is some sort of"global" directory, so users and other objects are known to the entire internetwork rather than to a specific file server. Net Ware Directory Services has that orientation.
