Re: Using QNTC

[Gqcy <gmufasa01@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am in the same boat here.  the Windows people say that it "is too much 
work" to get NFS going over our "robust Windows Active Directory 
structure".  "we have leveraged object permissions to a high degree of
customization".  and we also are using DFS (Distributed File System) 
which is like DNS for file servers...

We do map QNTC servers here, and since it takes time for the mapping to 
occur, we submit a separate job in the STARTUP program to perform the 
mapping.
