assignments. However, during the creation process, NetWare Services is
required to assign a HP-UX owner to the file in order to store it on any type
of HP-UX file system.
NetWare Services uses nwuser, or it uses nwroot if the user on a NetWare
server is ADMIN or Supervisor. The hybrid feature solves this problem by
mapping the NetWare account to the HP-UX account so that when a
NetWare user creates a file, the HP-UX UID becomes the owner of the file.
When HP-UX users log in to a HP-UX user account, they are denied access
to the files they created as NetWare users because nwuser owns those files;
their HP-UX account does not.
Setting Up a Hybrid User
Hybrid users are set up in SAM in HP-UX. See System Owner Handbook for
information.
The tasks in this section allow the system administrator to enable hybrid user
mapping for NetWare and HP-UX users.
What Happens When Hybrid User Is Active?
Table 3-2 shows the value stored in the User ID (UID) and Group ID (GID)
fields for a connection when the hybrid user feature is disabled and enabled.
