Apple Mac OS X Server (Administrator’s Guide) - Manual (Page 418)

418 Chapter 10
Client computers using different languages can connect to the same server provided the
server language script matches the client language script. For example, a user at a client
computer that uses French-language client software with the script set to Roman can connect
to the server. Another user at a German client computer using Roman script can also use the
same server. You can set the script in the International pane of System Preferences (in
Mac OS X) or using the International control panel (in Mac OS 9 or 8).
When a user connects to a Macintosh Manager server, the client computer should use the
same language software that was used during any previous connections. For example, if a
user connects to the Macintosh Manager server from a French client computer and then from
a German client computer, preference folders and other folders in the user’s home directory
may be created for each language, so the user may not be able to share preferences across
languages. On the other hand, if separate folders are not created, then different-language
versions of two programs may end up sharing a preference file. This could cause the client
computer to freeze.
Changing the Apple File Service Language Script
The correct Apple file service language script (for “Encoding for older clients”) should be
selected before using the Macintosh Manager server. If Macintosh Manager service is already
in use, stop Macintosh Manager service before changing the language script.
The “Encoding for older clients” script should match the client computer’s language script
(selected in the International pane of System Preferences) in addition to the language script
used for the Macintosh Manager administration application.
Step 4: Make sure you’ve set up users and their home directories
If you haven’t set up users and home directories already, do so before you proceed. Read
Chapter 3, “Users and Groups,” for more information.
Inside Macintosh Manager
The sections that follow describe some of Macintosh Manager’s components and provide
background information about how Macintosh Manager works with other Mac OS X Server
services.
Macintosh Manager Security
Although Macintosh Manager is not a designated “security application,” you can use Macintosh
Manager settings to provide more administrative control or to allow greater flexibility for users.
For example, you might want to restrict local file and system access privileges, allow users to
play audio CDs, or allow users to access some applications but not others.
