File Access Control
In NetWare, trustee assignments are used to grant access to files and
directories; these assignments are part of the file system. In NetWare
Services, trustee assignments are kept in a separate, per-volume database in
the volume’s control directory.
Since NetWare Services is a process running on HP-UX, NetWare
administrators can select how they want the NetWare trustee assignments
and the HP-UX permissions to interact with each other in granting access.
NWS _Volume_Setup in NetWare Setup allows the network administrator to
set variables for specific volumes or for volumes system-wide (see
Chapter 7, “Maintaining the NetWare Server”),
Table 3-3 describes the possible modes.
Table 3-3 File Access Control Modes
Value Description
None All NetWare users are granted full access to all files and directories as if they
had Supervisor rights. There are no access controls. See “Using Neither
NetWare Nor HP-UX for File Access Control” in this chapter for more
information.
NetWare NetWare-only enforcement. NetWare trustee assignments and file attributes
control a NetWare user’s access to files and directories. File system security
must be set up with NetWare utilities such as RIGHTS and NETADMIN. The
HP-UX permissions are ignored. See “Using NetWare Only for File Access
Control” in this chapter for more information.
UNIX UNIX-only enforcement. HP-UX permissions control a NetWare user’s access
to files and directories. Trustee assignments are ignored and NetWare rights are
granted according to HP-UX permissions. File system security must be set up
with HP-UX utilities such as chmod, chown, and chgrp. See “Using HP-UX
Only for File Access Control” in this chapter for more information.
