●The add_access, add_user and buildacc utilities have been omitted. Instead of lmxsetup
and lmxinfo, asxsetup and asxinfo are available.
●With Advanced Server for UNIX, the AT& T and SPOOL V4.x spoolers are supported.
2.7.7 Advanced Server for UNIX V3.5
Advanced Server for UNIX V4.0 is compatible with V3.5 except for the following:
●Intel systems are not longer supported (e.g. SINIX-L/-M/-Z and UnixWare).
●AS/X V4.0 needs at least SINIX / Reliant UNIX -N/-Y V5.43C00.
●AS/X V4.0 needs additional software installed on the SINIX / Reliant UNIX (see s ection
“Hardware and software requirements”).
Important changes to V3.5:
Advanced Server for UNIX has the following new or modified features:
●NT style printing is supported and gives the possibility to install printer dr ivers for
Windows 95/98 and Windows NT on the server. It is no longer neccesary to install the
printer driver on each client manually.
●A Windows NT compatible WINS-service is available with Advanced Server for UNIX
V4.0. This makes it much more easy to operate the server and clients in a route d
environment.
●Registry: Most of the Advanced Server for UNIX configuration is stored in a binary
Registry file. The configuration can now be done via the Windows Registry Editor.
●SMB Signatures: SMB signing provides a message authentication by placing a digital
security signature into each SMB, which is then verified by both the clie nt and the
server. For more information about SMB signatures take a look at Microsoft Kno wledge
Base.
●It is possible to select the language of builtin names (domain language) bef ore the
initialization of the Advanced Server for UNIX databases takes place (e.g. the local
group “Administrators” becomes “Administratoren” and "builtin\ guest" becomes a
"vordefiniert\Gast").
●New command net computer to display or modify the list of the computer accounts in the
domain database, net sid to translate Security Identifiers (SIDs) into account names and
vice versa.
●German language message texts are integrated in the asxserver package and can be
activated with a utility.
