2.2.1 Names in the network
In the network, servers, domains, clients, users, and resources are assigned unique
names. The following table describes briefly the various types of names in the network.
Name Meaning
System name Name of the UNIX system
Computername, server name Each server and client in a network must have a unique
computername.
A proposed server name is derived from the system
name when it is being installed first (maximum 15
characters).
Username The administrator provides each user in a network with a
unique username for identification.
Users from other domains with which there is a
trust relationship are addressed with <domain
name>\<username>.
Sharename The administrator assigns a unique sharename to each
shared resource on a server.
Network name, UNC name The network name consists of the server’s computer
name and the sharename of one of this server’s
resources. A connection to a resource is established, for
example, with a network name.
Domain name The domain gets a domain name when you install the
primary domain controller. By default, it consists of the
first eleven characters of the system name plus the suffix
.dom (maximum 15 characters).
