Network Implementation
Describe the basic capabilities (i.e., client support,
interoperability, authentication, file and print services,
application support, and security) of the following server operating
systems:
UNIX/Linux
Interoperability
Open
source software such as SAMBA is used to provide Windows users with
Server Message Block (SMB) file sharing.
Authentication
Centralized login authentication
File and Print Services
Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system that allows
users to access files and directories located on remote computers
and treat those files and directories as if they were local.
LPR/LPD is the primary UNIX printing protocol used to submit jobs to
the printer. The LPR component initiates commands such as "print
waiting jobs," "receive job," and "send queue state," and the LPD
component in the print server responds to them.
Security
With
most Unix operating systems, the network services can be
individually controlled to increase security.
