subject: IBM name services?

 LA> With the optional Directory And Security Server (DCE) package,
 LA> Warp Server has true single log-on capability, and supports the 
 LA> OSF Distributed File System.
 LA> With DSS, multiple DCE cells obtain Directory and Kerberos 
 LA> security services from a centralized DSS server, located 
 LA> anywhere on the WAN. DSS supports thousands of users.
MB> Be aware that DSS is a framework for the implementation of DCE, and that 
IBM
  > regards DCE as vendor-independent above DSS.  You can use IBM's DCE
  > implementation above OS/2 DSS, but DSS is not tied to IBM's DCE.  I don't 
know
  > if anyone other than IBM implements DCE over OS/2 DSS.
 LA> Without DSS, you have a single DCE cell with a designated 
 LA> Domain controller (and backups), similar to NT. User capacities 
 LA> are slightly higher than NT, except, of course, that Warp 
 LA> Server runs much faster on much less hardware.

   IBM actually doesn't say anything about that fact. Wonder why?

   I have a copy of Lan Server 4.0 here that would be perfect for 
   7/8 of the clown...ah, Lan Administrators I talk to. All the 
   performance they need on a pentium90, instead they always go for 
   the NT and wind up spending 3 times as much on the installation, 
   for half the performance.
