P
Protocol stack
The protocols that allow a UNIX host to communicate with the rest of the
NetWare Services network. The protocol stack contains IPX, SPX, RIP, and
SAP.
See “IPX”; “SAP”; “SPXII”; “RIP.”
PUBLIC directory
The SYS:PUBLIC directory, created during network installation, that allows
general access to the network and contains NetWare utilities and programs
for network users.
NetWare users running DOS have a search drive mapped to SYS:PUBLIC
through the container login script and are assigned Read and File Scan rights
to this directory.
NetWare users running access NetWare utilities from the SYS:PUBLIC/OS2
directory.
Do not delete the PUBLIC directory or any files in it.
See also: “Directory structure, file system”; “LOGIN directory”; “MAIL
directory”; “SYSTEM directory.”
Public files
Files that must be accessed by all NetWare users, including NetWare
utilities, help files, and some message and data files.
By convention, the files are located in SYS:PUBLIC for DOS userss.
All NetWare users have Read and File Scan rights to the files.
Public trustee
A special trustee that can be added to any object, directory, or file.
[Public] is only used in trustee assignments and must always be entered
within square brackets. [Public] can be added or deleted like any other
trustee. An Inherited Rights Filter will block inherited rights for [Public].
