Glossary 65

open source A term for the cooperative development of software by the Internet

community. The basic principle is to involve as many people as possible in writing and

debugging code by publishing the source code and encouraging the formation of a

large community of developers who will submit modifications and enhancements.

Network File System (NFS) A client/server protocol that uses TCP/IP to allow remote

users to access files as though they were local. NFS exports shared volumes to

computers according to IP address, rather than user name and password.

print queue An orderly waiting area where print jobs wait until a printer is available.

The print service in Mac OS X Server uses print queues on the server to facilitate

management.

privileges Settings that define the kind of access users have to shared items. You can

assign four types of privileges to a share point, folder, or file: read/write, read-only,

write-only, and none (no access).

protocol A set of rules that determines how data is sent back and forth between two

applications.

share point A folder, hard disk (or hard disk partition), or CD that is accessible over the

network. A share point is the point of access at the top level of a group of shared items.

Share points can be shared using AFP, Windows SMB, NFS (an “export”), or FTP protocols.

SMB (Server Message Block) A protocol that allows client computers to access files

and network services. It can be used over TCP/IP, the Internet, and other network

protocols. Windows services use SMB to provide access to servers, printers, and other

network resources.

subnet A grouping on the same network of client computers that are organized by

location (different floors of a building, for example) or by usage (all eighth-grade

students, for example). The use of subnets simplifies administration.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) A method used along with the Internet Protocol

(IP) to send data in the form of message units between computers over the Internet. IP

takes care of handling the actual delivery of the data, and TCP takes care of keeping

track of the individual units of data (called packets) into which a message is divided for

efficient routing through the Internet.

WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) A name resolution service used by

Windows computers to match client names with IP addresses. A WINS server can be

located on the local network or externally on the Internet.

workgroup A set of users for whom you define preferences and privileges as a group.

Any preferences you define for a group are stored in the group account.
