Services for UNIX
Services for UNIX (SFU) provides the tools needed to integrate UNIX and Windows
networks by leveraging existing UNIX network resource and expertise. SFU includes
more than 60 of the most common UNIX command line utilities to provide a familiar
environment for UNIX users and administrators.
Server for NFS allows you to leverage your existing UNIX network resources for UNIX
clients.
SFU provides important tools to enhance and simplify the administration of your net-
work. These tools include:
•
Telnet Server enables character and script-based remote administration of Win-
dows 2000 and Windows NT-based servers from a variety of clients.
•
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Snap-in enables a consistent and central
management point for all SFU functionality.
•
ActivePerl enables existing and new scripts to use the Windows Management
Interface (WMI) to automate network administration tasks.
•
User Name Mapping associates Windows and UNIX user names, which allows
users to connect to NFS resources without having to log on to UNIX systems
separately.
Server for Network File System (NFS)
SFU provides a robust Server for NFS that can be used to provide disk resources from
your systems running Windows NT and Windows 2000 to any system on your net-
work that supports NFS. To administer Server for NFS, set the following options from
the SFU MMC console:
•
User Mapping is the name of the mapping server to use.
•
Auditing is the size and location of the logging file, and the operations to audit.
•
Locking is the grace period for locks and a list of current locks.
•
Client Groups is used to group client systems for easier setting of permissions.
Shares
You can create shares by selecting Folders and Shares in the NAS Manager. You can
also select Properties in Windows Explorer and click NFS Sharing to create shares.
You can share individual directories or entire drives. You can also share directories
from the command line. To share a directory, type:
nfsshare sharename=Drive:Path
at the command prompt. Drive:Path is the location of the folder you want to share. As
in UNIX, you cannot share a subfolder of an existing share. Each drive letter is treated
as a separate root directory.
