Is there any security implemented in this? Once a user is logged in, it
seems to allow the user search and read access to ALL directories. I would
like to allow my users SOME privacy with their files.

From the Novell Mailling List: From: Janet Perry <janetp%NOVELL.COM@uga.cc.uga.edu> NOVELL UNVEILS NETWARE FOR MACINTOSH v3.0 Macintosh Desktop Systems Now Fully Integrated Into NetWare BOSTON, Mass., NETWORLD -- February 11, 1991 -- Novell, Inc., developer of NetWare systems software products, today unveiled NetWare for Macintosh v3.0, a complete AppleTalk protocol-suite implementation that fully integrates Macintosh desktop systems into the NetWare v3.11 network computing environment. NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 is implemented as a set of NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs) that deliver high- performance AppleTalk Filing Protocol (AFP) and Printer Access Protocol (PAP) services for Macintosh clients in the NetWare v3.11 environment. With NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 running on NetWare v3.11, Macintosh users can share files and print resources with DOS, Windows, OS/2 and UNIX desktop systems. In addition, the NetWare for Macintosh AppleTalk stack provides the basis for integrating the Macintosh with complementary Novell services such as NetWare Communication Services, NetWare NFS (Network File System) and NetWare FTAM (File Transfer Access and Management). "Our new product offers Macintosh users full access to NetWare resources while preserving the native Macintosh interface," said Steve Nelson, director of product marketing at Novell's Walnut Creek development center. "The Macintosh is an ideal personal computer for network computing. We use Apple's networking standards to provide services for the Macintosh; we use NetWare to add value to those services and to integrate the Macintosh with other desktop computers and other information environments." "Since June of 1988, Macintosh, DOS and OS/2 users have been able to work together by using Novell's NetWare," said Randy Battat, Apple vice president of product marketing. "Today's announcement is important because it extends this capability further to include NetWare v3.11 servers." Primary features of NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 include: -o- Native mode NetWare access -- Macintosh users access NetWare resources through the Macintosh network client interface. -o- NLM implementation -- For the first time, the performance and added value of the NetWare v3.11 32-bit environment -- system fault tolerance, resource accounting, print management, internetwork routing and advanced security -- are now available for Macintosh workstations. -o- Full AFP 2.0 compliance -- Users are assured of data integrity and reliability, and are kept current as Macintosh technology evolves. -o- Full AppleTalk Phase 1 and Phase 2 compliance -- Supports newer and larger AppleTalk Phase 2 networks, as well as users remaining at AppleTalk Phase 1, or in transition. -o- Macintosh, DOS, Windows, OS/2 and UNIX users share networked printers -- Applications can access Apple LaserWriters or ImageWriters through NetWare print queues via PostScript or Diablo 630 emulation. -o- Support for AppleTalk routing over multiple cabling systems -- Users can communicate over LocalTalk, Ethernet and Token-Ring internetwork topologies. -o- Macintosh client software -- Users can control NetWare capabilities such as setting rights, assigning trustees, managing print queues and sending messages to other networked users. Network managers can use any Macintosh on the network to perform administrative tasks such as adding or deleting users and groups, assigning passwords and setting file attributes. NETWARE APPLETALK SUPPORT PACKAGE v3.0 Novell also announced a new NetWare AppleTalk Support Package that adds AppleTalk protocols and AppleTalk routing capabilities to the NetWare v3.11 operating system. The NetWare AppleTalk Support Package features flexible configuration for access to a variety of applications and utilities and enables third-party network services using AppleTalk. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS, PRICING AND AVAILABILITY NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 requires the NetWare v3.11 network operating system. It will be available as an optional product in April 1991 in two versions: a 20-user version lists for U.S. $895 per server; a 100-user version lists for U.S. $1995 per server. Through September 30, 1991, registered NetWare v3.0 customers will be updated to NetWare v3.11 and receive the 100-user version of NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 at no charge; registered NetWare v3.1 customers will be updated to NetWare v3.11 when they purchase NetWare for Macintosh v3.0. The NetWare AppleTalk Support Package lists for U.S. $495 per site license and will be available in the second quarter of 1991 through Novell's After Market Products group. Education institutions which use the Education Account Purchase Program for NetWare will be able to pruchase NetWare for Macintosh through a site license program. Novell continues to ship and support NetWare for Macintosh v2.0, a Value Added Process (VAP), as part of the NetWare 2.15c network operating system. NetWare for Macintosh v3.0 is fully compatible with the NetWare for Macintosh VAP.
