entities, such as data forks and finder metadata.
Advanced Interactive eXecutive. A version of the UNIX operating system from
IBM that runs on various IBM computers including Mainframe systems.
Address Resolution Protocol. A protocol within TCP/IP networks that allows a
host to find the physical address of a node on the same network. ARP cannot be
used over routers.
Boot Protocol. A TCP/IP protocol, which allows an Internet node to discover
certain startup information such as its IP address. A request made to an active
BOOTP daemon initiates a search of the Boot Table for an entry matching the
unit's Ethernet address. If a matching entry is found, the daemon then
downloads the IP address to the device.
Berkeley Software Distribution. The University of California, Berkeley additions
to the UNIX operating system.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A system based on network interface
card addresses for allocating IP addresses and other configuration information
for networked systems. It provides automatic but temporary assignment of IP
addresses from a central pool.
Names in the NDS Directory tree have two name types: typeful or typeless. A
typeful name includes the name types (OU, O, etc.) when identifying the
distinguished name of the object. A typeless name excludes the name types. You
can use either syntax when specifying the parameters.
Example 1 (
NDSServerContext

Example 2 (
