Controlling Resource Allocation
Controlling Resource Allocation
This section describes how to use accounting to control the number of
resources a NetWare client can use. The following are items to consider
when installing and using the accounting procedures.
• Install the accounting program
• Decide on the services you will charge for
• Calculate the rates
• Set up accounting balances for the users
• View the balances
If you want to use the NetWare® 4.1/9000 accounting commands (see
System Administration) rather than NetWare utilities to control resources
used by NetWare clients, make all of your NetWare clients hybrid users (see
“Managing the NetWare Services File System” in chapter 3).
Setting Up Accounting
Use this procedure from a Windows workstation to monitor NetWare server
usage and charge users for server resources. You can do this by either using
NetWare Administrator or NETADMIN and ATOTAL.
