Daemon
A HP-UX process running in the background that can perform tasks with no
user input and can spawn (initialize) other processes. Daemons provide
services for clients, such as printing and server advertising. Some daemon
processes such as the NetWare daemon perform administrative functions
and access the host file system.
See “NetWare daemon”; “NetWare Directory Services daemons”; “NPS
daemon”; “SAP daemon.”
The NetWare Services file systems provide some checks against software
corruption. All safeguards against hardware corruption are dependent on the
HP-UX host system.
Default drive
The drive a DOS or Windows workstation is using. The drive prompt, such
as A> or F>, identifies the current or default drive.
Default server
The server you attach to when you log in. (The default server is specified in
your NET.CFG file.)
Also, the server your current drive is mapped to.
Delete Inhibit attribute
A file system attribute that prevents any user from erasing the directory or
file.
