NetWare Glossary
C
Complete name
An object’s complete name consists of its common name (if it has one),
followed by a period (.), then the name of the container object, also followed
by a period, and on up through succeeding container object names through
the root of the tree, for example TWILLIAM.SALES
PV.SALES.HEWLETT-PACKARD US.
If you are referring to an object in the same container object as your User
object, then you only need to refer to that object by its common name,
instead of by its complete name.
See also “Common name”; “Object.”
Compressed attribute
A status flag in NetWare used to indicate that a file is compressed.
NetWare Services does not support file compression or use this attribute.
See also “Attributes.”
Computer object
A leaf object that represents a computer on the network.
In the Computer object’s properties, you can store information such as the
computer’s serial number or the person the computer is assigned to.
See also: “Creating Leaf Objects” (Supervising the Network); “Object.”
Configuration
The setting of parameters and creation of files and directory structures that
define how the elements of NetWare Services operate and interact with each
other.
The key tools for configuring NetWare Services are the “NetWare Setup”
(graphical user interface utility) and “nwcm” (command line utility).
See also: “nwcm”; “nwconfig.”
