member server
A
server in a domain, which retains and uses a copy of the user account database
of the domain but does not verify netlogon requests.
This server role is not supported with Advanced Server for UNIX. In the case of
an upgrade installation from LAN Manager/X, a member server receives the
server role backup domain controller.
messenger
This service enables the administrator to send a message to a particular client
user or to all client users in the local network
.
message POPUP
A field on a client in which the incoming messages from other network users are
shown when the messenger and the Net POPUP services are active.
NetBIOS
A software module which connects the operating system to the local network
hardware and allows communication between the clients and the network.
Netlogon
This service implements Netlogon security. If Netlogon is operating on one server
in the domain, then all usernames
and passwords, which must be specified by all
logged on users in the domain, are centrally verified. Netlogon runs on all
servers participating in Netlogon security. This means that the
user account
databases are copied to all servers in the domain. See also
trust relationship ,
primary domain controller and backup domain controller.
Netlogon domain
The domain in which the users log on to the local network
.
Netlogon process
Stating of usernames
and passwords in order to access the l ocal network. When
the connection
to the resource is established, Advanced Server for UNIX verifies
the username and password before access is granted. For domains with
Netlogon security, the username and password must correspond to a valid user
account on the primary domain controller.
Net POPUP
A client service which issues messages on the screen as they arrive from other
users of the local network or server.
