Files and directories in QNetWare are stored and managed by Novell NetWare servers. When you authorize users, the QNetWare file system changes the authority on the NetWare server; it does not maintain its own copy. User authorities that you set or retrieve are mapped between iSeries™ authorities and NetWare rights.
When you display or change the authorities of owners or users, QNetWare maps NetWare users to iSeries users based on the user's name. Trustee assignments for users that do not have an iSeries user profile are also mapped unless the NetWare name exceeds 10 characters. Where an owner's name does not map to a valid iSeries owner, QDFTOWN is assigned.
Trustee assignments for files and directories on the NetWare server are mapped to iSeries. This includes trustee assignments for groups, especially the group EVERYONE. The group EVERYONE is mapped as user *PUBLIC on iSeries.
