3.7.3 Summary of Lab Home Directories and Purposes

Your lab servers now have four home directory access points in three physical locations (the first
two share the same physical partition):
/home: This is the default home directory on SLES 10 servers. The underlying file system is
Reiser. On SLES 10 servers, home directories are normally created on
in to the server for the first time.
Home directories on OES 2 servers are normally created on NCP or NSS volumes. However,
they can be created manually on
because the directories belong initially to the
HOME_NCP: This is an NCP volume mount point that points to and shares disk space with
the directory mentioned above. In this guide, it illustrates the functionality of the NCP
/home
server, the Novell File and Directory Trustee Model, and Novell Client
POSIX volume. (The underlying file system is Reiser.) Home directories on NCP volumes are
easily created when users are created in iManager. POSIX permissions to home directories
created in iManager must be adjusted before users can access the directories through non-NCP
applications. This is because when the directories are created, the directory owner in POSIX is
initially the eDirectory Admin User who created the users in eDirectory and their home
directories on the Linux file system (NCP volume).
HOME_NSS: This is an NSS volume on the OES 2 server. It illustrates the functionality of the
NCP server, the Novell File and Directory Trustee Model, and NSS file attributes. Because
NSS volumes are also NCP volumes by default, home directories are easily created at user-
creation time in iManager. POSIX permissions do not apply to NSS volumes. However, NSS
can interface with POSIX permissions for applications and access methods that require them.
Trustee assignments (ownership) are automatically assigned to the eDirectory username or user
when the home directory is created.
HOME_NW: This is an NSS volume on your virtualized NetWare server. It illustrates the
functionality of the NCP server, the Novell File and Directory Trustee Model, and NSS file
attributes on a NetWare server. Trustee assignments (ownership) are automatically assigned to
the eDirectory username or user when the home directory is created.
