Introduction to Advanced Server for UNIX Services

2.3.6 SNMP service

The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) service is installed and configured with the asxsnmp package. This daemon process is started and stopped automatically with Advanced Server for UNIX. It provides a connection between Advanced Server for UNIX and the SNMP agent. Please refer to the manual “SNMP Service” for further information. In addition, the “Emanate Master Agent” (Slsnmpdm) can also be used with the “SINIX SNMP Agent Adapter” (Slsnmpd).

2.3.7 Netrun service

The Netrun service enables you to run a UNIX program on Advanced Server for UNIX from an OS/2 or an extended MS-DOS client.

The corresponding user interface is not available on Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT.

2.3.8 Browser

The browser service extends the announce messages that normally occured in the LAN Manager/X environment (every 60 seconds). This new mechanism consists of a system of hierarchically ordered browser programs that are used for searching domains, servers and resources within the network. The browser service function is provided in the Explorer/File Manager and Windows Print Manager. Relevant shared resources on other servers and on servers in other domains can be found using this system.

However, the browser service can only be used by a Windows NT server, a Windows NT workstation, a Windows 95/98 client, or a Windows for Workgroups client. It is not available on a Windows or MS-DOS client.

For further information in this regard, please refer to the “Concepts and Planning” manual.

2.3.9 Windows Internet Naming Service

The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) is used to map computernames to IP addresses. For further information please consult the chapter describing “Implementing WINS”.
