Notes

• To open Services for UNIX Administration, click Start, point to Programs, point to Windows Services for UNIX, and then click Services for UNIX Administration.
• PCNFS passwd and group files must be located on a hard drive on the computer running User Name Mapping. Typically, these files are copied from a PCNFS server and are periodically updated by the administrator of the User Name Mapping computer.
• You cannot use Services for UNIX Administration to manage User Name Mapping on a remote computer to set up maps for PCNFS users and groups.
• The refresh interval determines how often User Name Mapping will refresh password and group information from the PCNFS server.

• At a command prompt, type one of the following:

  To choose password and group authentication and supply required information, type:

  mapadmin [computername] [–u user] [–p password] config –d ntDomain –f Passwd/GroupDirectory

  To choose NIS authentication and supply required information, type:

  mapadmin [computername] [–u user] [–p password] config –d ntDomain –y nisDomain [–n nisServer]

  To set how often User Name Mapping will refresh password and group information from the NIS server when using NIS or the passwd and group files when Using PCNFS, type:

  mapadmin [computername] [–u user] [–p password] config –r [[days:]hh:]mm

  To turn simple mapping on (yes) or off (no), type:

  mapadmin [computername] [–u user] [–p password] config –i {yes|no}
