   DDNS, DHCP and NetBios name services inside a Domain scheme that 
   is based on DCE specs. The local directory and file system is the 
   same SMB based services as NT.
   With the optional Directory And Security Server (DCE) package, 
   Warp Server has true single log-on capability, and supports the 
   OSF Distributed File System. 
   With DSS, multiple DCE cells obtain Directory and Kerberos 
   security services from a centralized DSS server, located anywhere 
   on the WAN. DSS supports thousands of users.
   Without DSS, you have a single DCE cell with a designated Domain 
   controller (and backups), similar to NT. User capacities are 
   slightly higher than NT, except,  of course, that Warp Server 
   runs much faster on much less hardware.
   There is an add-on to support NDS, but have not used it.
