Chapter 3
Here is a summary of requirements for machine records in a NetInfo domain:
m
The machines directory of every shared domain must have a record for every computer
where the domain resides.
These machine records contain a serves property having the value ./
tag
, where ./ refers to
the current domain and
tag
is the NetInfo tag of the domain.
m
The machines directory of every shared domain that has a parent must have a record for
every computer hosting its parent.
These machine records contain a serves property having the value ../
tag
, where ../ refers
to the parent domain and
tag
is the NetInfo tag of the parent domain.
m
The machines directory of every shared domain that has one or more children must
contain a machine record for each child’s computer if the child is one of the following:
m
a shared domain
m
a local domain that uses broadcast binding
The serves property of these machine records has the value
domain
/
tag
, where
domain
is the name of the child domain and
tag
is the child’s NetInfo tag.
The root domain on server1 in the example above needs two machine records, one for
server1 (to identify the root domain and one of its children, Math) and one for server2 (to
identify its other child, English). Because it is the root, it has no machine record for a parent
domain.
In this example, “myschool” is the NetInfo tag of the root domain, and “network” is the
NetInfo tag of the Math and English domains.
