Hybrid user is the feature that allows coordination between a NetWare user
account and an HP-UX user account. This feature allows a user to access or

or as a NetWare user.
Without the hybrid feature, users with both NetWare and HP-UX accounts
would lose access to files they create in either account while logged in with
the other account. This is because NetWare has no knowledge of HP-UX
user accounts and HP-UX has no knowledge of NetWare user accounts.
When HP-UX users log in and create files, they maintain rights to the files
they create because they are the owner of the files. When NetWare users log
in and create files, they maintain rights to the files because of trustee
