Configuration Using Novell Directory Services
Novell Directory Services (NDS) provides a more advanced approach to
network management than previous versions of NetWare. It stores and
tracks all network objects. A Version 4.x or 5.x server must have NDS in-
stalled in order to function.
This means every NetWare 4.x or 5.x server is a directory server, because
it services printers, print servers, print queues, and other named directory
objects. With appropriate privileges, you can create a print server object
and assign them network-wide contexts (or locations), which eliminates
the need to perform troublesome setup of print servers on each individual
network server.
NDS provides true enterprise networking based not on individually defined
physical sites, but rather on a shared network database. The result is vast-
ly improved print server setup and management.
The Directory Information Base (DIB) is used to store information about
servers and services, users, printers, gateways, etc. It is a distributed da-
tabase that allows access to data anywhere on the network, regardless of
where it is stored. Pre-4.x NetWare versions provide the same data as
DIB, but the data is stored in the NetWare bindery.
