Glossary

sharename

Every shared resource on a server has a unique name on the server system. No two resources on a server can have the same sharename, although they can be given the same sharename if they are on different servers within a local network. A user can request a specific resource on a server using the sharename.

share table

This list contains a description of all shared resources on a server, which are available for use in the local network.

shared client printer

In the case of a shared client printer, the output of the queue (of the UNIX spooler) is printed to a printer which is connected to a client.

shared directory

Directories in the file system of the server, which are shared for use in the local network. Shared directories include the files contained in these directories and additional directories.

shared printer

Printer connected to a server, which can be used as a shared resource in the local network. The incoming print requests are transferred by the server to the configured system spooler.

shared program See netrun.

shared resource

A shared resource is a server resource which can be used by the clients via a local network. Examples of shared resources are directories, printers and the interprocess communication resource (IPC$).

standalone server

A server with user level security, which organizes its own user account database and is not part of a domain. This server role is not supported with Advanced Server for UNIX. In the case of an upgrade installation from LAN Manager/X, a standalone server receives the server role primary domain controller.

subcommands

The server is managed using subcommands. If the server is managed from the operating system shell, the prefix net is placed before the subcommand:

net <subcommand>.
