HP NAS 8000 Concepts In your network, you might use a Network Information Service (NIS) server to help you maintain common configuration files such as the password, group, and host files. If your environment uses a NIS server, you can enable NIS. The NAS server then maintains the same UID and GID numbers that your UNIX users are currently assigned in a heterogeneous environment. Note: Enabling and disabling the use of a NIS server does not affect the security of a homogeneous UNIX environment. An additional form of security called host access is available in the UNIX environment and controls which client machines are allowed access to the NAS server, regardless of the user. The allowed clients are specified by a list of IP addresses or hostnames representing those machines. Host access controls access by machine, not user. HP StorageWorks NAS 8000 User's Guide 37
