Matching Spellings - Compaq N2400 - TaskSmart - 1 GB RAM Administration Manual

4-14 Compaq TaskSmart N2400 Administration Guide
Simple User Maps
Two levels of mapping, simple and advanced, allow for user name matching.
The administrator must determine the appropriate level of mapping.
Simple, or implicit, is the first level of user name mapping. Simple user name
mapping automatically equates Windows NT logons and UNIX logons with
matching spellings, whether they are actually the same users or not. The user
name mapping service allows the administrator to disable implicit mapping.
The guidelines for simple user name mapping are as follows:
1. The administrator can map one or more Windows NT domains to one
NIS domain.

2. For NIS configurations, the refresh field determines how often the
mapping server connects to the NIS domains to update the UNIX user
list. For PCNFS, the refresh field determines how often the files are
refreshed from disk.
