3 Advanced Server for UNIX architecture
This chapter contains descriptions of the architecture of Advanced Server for UNIX.
Communication takes place via TCP/IP (Transmission Transport Protocol/Internet
Protocol).
Processes required for the administration of NetBIOS are not considered here!
3.1 Process model
A series of processes are started in order to carry out specific tasks when Advanced Server
for UNIX is started. The following sections contain a short description of these processes
and their tasks.
The number of processes depends on the current configuration which is stored in the
lanman.ini file and in the Registry.
3.1.1 Communication between the processes
Data which is required by all Advanced Server for UNIX processes is stored in a shared
memory segment. This data includes, for example, the file and lock tables. Data that is not
required by all processes is retained by the control process and made available as required
by means of interprocess communication.
