NetWare Services® allow UnixWare systems to act as NetWare clients and
UnixWare servers to act as NetWare servers.
The NetWare Services software runs on a UnixWare system and uses UnixWare
resources to provide NetWare services. For NetWare users, a NetWare
Services server looks and behaves like a NetWare server because it provides
the following services:
NetWare Directory Services (NDS).
Provides a global naming service that is distributed across the entire
NetWare network with a single point of administration. NetWare users
log in to the Directory tree and, with appropriate rights, have access
to any resource on the network, regardless of physical location.
NetWare file services.
Supports multiple name spaces and a multi-level file access system. The
name space feature allows users to view filenames in the naming conventions
of their workstation's operating system. File access is controlled through
trustee assignments to users and groups, inherited rights, and file
attributes that can restrict rights to specific files.
NetWare print services.
Allows NetWare clients to access printing resources on both NetWare and
UnixWare printers.
NetWare client support and utilities.
Allows workstations running DOS/Windows, Windows 95,
OS/2 and UnixWare to log in to the NetWare server and share
networked resources. NetWare provides each client type with a set of
NetWare utilities that allow the users to configure their NetWare
environment and to manage some aspects of the NetWare server.
NetWare account security.
Provides secure NDS authentication with private key/public key
encryption as well as numerous login restrictions.
Installation overview
After UnixWare is installed, you can proceed with the NetWare Services
installation as follows:
While not mandatory, this is the next phase of installation. If you selected
to install the Client Kit, you have installed the images for creating
NetWare client diskettes. If you choose to make client diskettes, go to
``Making client diskettes''.
Complete the process of installing clients using the NetWare Client
for OS/2 User Guide and the NetWare Client for DOS and Windows
User Guide.
Set up your printers. For information on printers, refer to
your UnixWare online documentation.

Logs Manager.
To access the System Logs Manager, perform either of the following steps
whilest running in graphics mode:
Enter scoadmin at the command line. When the scoadmin
window appears, select ``System'', then select the System Logs Manager.
Enter the following command:
scoadmin system logs manager
NOTE:
When entering the name of a UnixWare manager on the command line,
the manager name given as an argument to scoadmin is
case-insensitive, so the following are equivalent:
Permanent changes are made to your system only after you select ``Accept
all settings and install now'' from the Installation Main Menu. If you
want to make changes you can cycle through the menus again. If you want
to exit completely, select ``Exit without installing'' on the
Preinstallation Menu. No changes will be made to your system.
