NetWare Glossary

Logout
A procedure that breaks the network connection and deletes drives mapped
to the network.
If you log out without specifying a NetWare server name in the LOGOUT
command, the station connections and drives mapped to all servers are
terminated.
To log out of one server and remain logged in to the other servers, specify
the server name in the LOGOUT command. To permit access to NetWare
utilities, at least one of the remaining drives must be mapped to the PUBLIC
directory of a NetWare server that you are still logged in to.
Related utilities: “LOGOUT”; “NETADMIN” (Utilities Reference).
Long filename
A filename that exceeds the 12-character limit (eight characters, a dot (.)
delimiter, and a three-character extension) set by DOS.
In UNIX, filenames can be up to 1024 characters long. Embedded spaces
and UNIX shell metacharacters (?,*,[], and [!] should be avoided.
UNIX filenames are case sensitive. For example, Data_1 and data_1 can
exist as two separate files in the same directory.
In OS/2, a High Performance File system (HPFS), convention allows long,
free-form filenames. OS/2 1.2 filenames can contain embedded spaces,
mixed case, and multiple dot delimiters.
An HPFS volume in OS/2 allows filenames of up to 255 characters and path
name components up to 260 characters.
Long machine type
A six-letter name representing a DOS workstation brand.
Use the long machine type in container login scripts (using the MACHINE
identifier variable) to automatically map a drive to the correct version of
DOS assigned to the station.
IBM computers use the long machine type IBM_PC. If the station is not an
IBM computer, create a long machine type for the station in a NET.CFG file.
