Chapter 3
Because of limited local storage capacity in the terminal, the fonts resident on the
terminal are the minimum set for use with all applications. If a locally booted
terminal uses the network services director, additional fonts are automatically made
available. All the network services are already provided for the users who perform a
network boot; no additional measures need to be taken to ensure that this group of
users enjoys these benefits.

NFS

Refer to Chapter 2 for more information on configuring NFS. The Select | System |
Setup | Administration | Network Services dialog box can be used to configure
the terminal for both swapping and print spooling.
In a network-boot environment, spooling is automatic and is on the root NFS
directory tree as described in Chapter 2. Swapping is optional, with the size of the
swap area based upon the setting of the slider in the Network Services dialog box.
Swapping can be disabled through the use of DHCP options as described in
Chapter 2.
In a local-boot environment, spooling is optional. If a network services directory is
provided, spooling is available; otherwise, spooling is not available.
If NFS network services is desired, the information specified in Chapter 2 (with
respect to permissions and mapping) applies. In addition, terminals write to the root
directory of the NFS mount point, so permissions must be set accordingly.

SMB

SMB is the Microsoft network protocol used for file, directory, and print services.
If directory services are required, the network share, which is being exported as the
network services directory, must be configured for guest access. It must not be
password-protected for guest access, and must appear on a server browse list
when queried from a remote computer. Ideally, the NT server that is providing the
service will also be in DNS; otherwise, it must be put in the terminal's HOSTS file
(under Select | System | Setup | Internet | Hosts) for name resolution to occur,
and an IP address must also be associated with it. The terminal must additionally
be able to create directories at the root level of the share and be able to create,
modify, and delete files on the share.
Note
SMB file sharing can not be used to support swapping;
only NFS will support this function. All other services
are supported by both file-sharing services.
