Using Your Computer as a Network Server
If your computer is set up in a network, you may want to use
your system as the network server. A network server is the
master computer in a network and provides storage space for the
other computers connected to it. The network server can write
files to and read files from the other computers, making it the
most powerful computer in a network.
Even if no one is typing commands at the network server
keyboard, the server can process commands sent to it from other
computers. When your computer is operating in this special
situation, you may want to prevent unauthorized users from
entering commands at the network server keyboard. To provide
this security, you can enable a power-on password in network
server mode.
