sharename
Every shared resource on a server has a unique name on the server system. No
two resources on a server can have the same sharename, although they can
be given the same sharename if they are on different servers within a local
network. A user can request a specific resource on a server using the
sharename.
share table
This list contains a description of all shared resources on a server, which are
available for use in the local network.
shared client printer
In the case of a shared client printer, the output of the queue (of the UNIX
spooler) is printed to a printer which is connected to a client.
shared directory
Directories in the file system of the server, which are shared for use in the
local
network. Shared directories include the files contained in these directories and
additional directories.
shared printer
Printer connected to a server, which can be used as a shared resource in the local
network. The incoming print requests are transferred by the server to the
configured system spooler.
shared program
See netrun.
shared resource
A shared resource is a server resource which can be used by the clients via a
local network. Examples of shared resources are directories, printers and the
interprocess communication resource (IPC$).
standalone server
A server with user level security, which organizes its own user account database and
is not part of a domain. This server role is not supported with Advanced Server
for UNIX. In the case of an upgrade installation from LAN Manager/X, a
standalone server receives the server role primary domain controller.
subcommands
The server is managed using subcommands. If the server is managed from the
operating system shell, the prefix net is placed before the subcommand:
net <subcommand>.
