Preferred File Server (NDS & Bindery)
In a bindery setup, the preferred file server specifies the f ile server that the
print server object was created on. In an NDS setup, it speci fies a file server
that the print server object resides on. Since NDS is distributed, most
administrators will not know which file server(s) the p rint server object is
actually stored on, so in most NDS environments this option is not used. This
feature is useful in a large Novell network so that the NIC does n ot ignore
important file servers. If you are setting up the NIC to work wit h a Bindery file
server, it is a good idea to set a preferred server on the NIC.
To view those file servers that the NIC does acknowledge at a given time, use
the

debug nest fserver

command. See Chapter 13, “Commands” for
more information.
