Name context
The position of an object in the Directory tree.
See also: “Context.”
Name space
A feature that allows you to store non-UNIX files on a NetWare Services
server. Files appear in native mode to users at different workstations.
DOS and UNIX name spaces are always enabled on a volume and cannot be
disabled. OS/2 name spaces can be added and removed.
NetWare Services supports the following lengths for filenames:
DOS8.3
UNIX255
See also: “Multiple name space support.”
NCP
See “NetWare Core Protocol (NCP).”
ncp_engine
A HP-UX daemon that is spawned by the NetWare daemon and runs as a
root user. The NetWare daemon registers the ncp_engine with NEMUX.
The ncp_engine receives and processes NCP requests. It acts as the interface
to the HP-UX file system to process the NCP requests and formulate
responses to the NCP requests.
The HP-UX network supervisor controls how many ncp_engine daemons
are created and can dynamically increase or decrease the number. NetWare
Services needs at least two and the number it needs increase with the number
of users.
