Standard Attributes in Computer Records
The following table specifies facts about the standard attributes, or data types, found in
computer records of Mac OS X data services. Computer records associate the hardware
address of a computer’s Ethernet interface with a name for the computer. The name is part
of a computer list record (much as a user is in a group). Use these facts when mapping LDAP
or Active Directory domains to Mac OS X directory services.
