is ".", which disables this feature.

Idle Session Timeout is the time until an idle session is forcibly disconnected.

Terminate all programs when disconnecting toggles with Continue to run programs started with the

command bgjob.

Sessions allows you to see data about the currently active sessions (such as user, domain, system, logon

date/time) and either send a message to the session or terminate it.

Services for UNIX MMC Console

SFU UNIX includes a single MMC for managing all of SFU. The MMC provides a cohesive management interface that allows

you to administer all systems on the network from any console. Further, since SFU supports the Windows Management

Interface (WMI), management can be scripted from the command line.

ActiveState ActivePerl 5.6

SFU includes ActiveState's ActivePerl 5.6, a full-featured port of Perl 5.6 and Perl Script to Windows Powered operating

systems. Among other improvements, ActivePerl 5.6 includes support for fork() emulation at the interpreter level,

improving the portability of scripts and modules. ActivePerl also provides full support for the Windows Script Host, making

ActivePerl an excellent tool for system administration tasks.

User Name Mapping

User Name Mapping provides mapping of names between the UNIX and Windows environments. You can perform User

Name Mapping either from SFU or by clicking NFS on the Services page of the NAS Manager.

With User Name Mapping, you can create simple maps between Windows Powered user accounts and corresponding UNIX

accounts. You can also use the Advanced Map feature to map accounts with dissimilar names. Given that UNIX user

names are case-sensitive, while Windows Powered operating system names are not, the use of User Name Mapping can

greatly simplify maintaining and managing accounts in the two environments. User Name Mapping uses Network

Information Service (NIS) or local Personal Computer Network File System (PCNFS) user and group files to authenticate

users. Also, User Name Mapping supports bidirectional one-to-many mapping, allowing you to map a single UNIX or

Windows Powered operating system account to multiple accounts in the other environment. For example, you can map

more than one administrative account in a Windows Powered operating system to the UNIX root account.

In SFU, the Username Mapping Service and NT Authentication Service can be installed from the NAS appliance's share,

DomainUtils.

To create User and Group Name Maps, access the SFU Administration window by performing the following steps:

1. From the NAS Manager, click Maintenance.

2. Click Terminal Services.

3. Log on to Terminal Services as administrator.

4. Close the Advanced Administration Menu.

5. Click the Start button and point to Programs—> Administrative Tools—> Windows Services for UNIX.

6. Click Services for UNIX Administration.

The SFU Administration Console displays.

7. Click User Name Mapping.

The User Name Mapping on Local Computer window displays. You can use this window to define your user

maps.

Configuration

To configure the type of server to be used to access UNIX user and group names, perform the following steps:
