Managing the NetWare Services File System
File Access Control
The GIDs match under the following conditions:
• The NetWare user’s hybrid GID matches the file’s (or directory’s) GID.
Although HP-UX allows a user to belong to more than one group, currently only
the HP-UX user’s primary group is used, the GID obtained with getpwnam ( ).
All other group GIDs are ignored.
• The file’s (or directory’s) GID is nwgroup and the user is logged in.
The rights granted are determined by the HP-UX permission bits for the
UID, GID, or Other. These HP-UX permission bits are translated into
NetWare rights.
Two NetWare rights, Supervisor and Access Control, are never granted,
since granting them would imply that the user can use NetWare trustee
assignments to control access. With “UNIX” as the mode for file access,
access control changes must occur from HP-UX.
Table 3-4 shows how HP-UX rights are translated to NetWare rights.
