NUC File System (NUCFS)
The NUCFS is a SCO UnixWare 2.1 network file system (see Section 4.2 for more details) that
provides access to NetWare file services to a SCO UnixWare platform, providing SCO
UnixWare system users with direct access to NetWare files and directories on remote NetWare
servers as if they are local. The NUCFS is a stateful file system, i.e., the NetWare server knows
about its clients and keeps information about the state of operation between it and its clients.
NUC Auto-Mounter (NUCAM)
NetWare volumes may be mounted using the standard UNIX mount(1) utility, e.g. $ mount -F
nucfs server_name/volume_name: /pathor using the advanced auto mounting capability provided
by the NUC Auto-Mounter (NUCAM). The NUCAM automatically mounts NUCFS file systems.
The SCO UnixWare Desktop Manager File Viewer or the command-line interfaces, e.g. cd(1),
can be used to navigate a NetWare volume. Double-clicking on a NetWare server folder causes
the auto-authenticator panel to appear if the user is not already authenticated to the NetWare
server. The single login feature is supported by the synchronization of names and passwords
between a NetWare server and SCO UnixWare server. Any SCO UnixWare utility which
performs user login (such as login, rlogin, telnet, rsh, nvt, or the Desktop graphical login) stores
the user’s name and password in a form that can be retrieved by the NUC.
