synchronization A means of ensuring
that replicas of a Directory partition
contain the same information as other
replicas of that partition. Replica
synchronization updates the replicas and
runs periodically at a cycle controlled by
the network supervisor.
See also “replica”.
text utilities One of the two main types
of utilities available, the other being
graphical utilities. There are two
categories of text utilities: command line

time server A server which provides
time to the system. There are four types
of time server: Primary, Reference,

time stamp A unique code that
identifies an event and includes the time
it occurred. It is reported by the
Directory tree at the time of an event
such as a password change.
NetWare Directory Services uses this to
establish event order, record real-world
times, and set expiration dates.
time synchronization A method of
ensuring that all servers in a Directory
tree report the same time.
In systems with a Single Reference time
server or a Reference time server, all
other servers synchronize to them.
Primary and Secondary time servers
synchronize with other Primary or
Reference time servers and provide time
to Secondary time servers.

granted rights to work with a directory,

directory.
In the NetWare Administrator utility,
trustee assignments granting rights to an
object can be viewed by selecting the
object and choosing “Trustees” from the
“Object menu.” Trustee assignments are
stored in the Access Control List (ACL)
property of every object.
