Great Work Brian

Brian, who is sitting right accross me here, is one of the most talented persons when it comes to Novell Security. I have not yet read the book, but knowing Brian, I am sure it is a great book. Way to go Brian!!!!!

Thank you, David and Brian !

The authors worked hard - and it shows. While many booky on the subject avoid comparisons to other naming services, this book starts to tell you about directory services in general, then mentions and explains other implementations, teaches you X.500 on top of that And that was only part I. Part II tells you almost everything you might want to know about NDS - stuff covered in the manuals and the CNE Study kits, plus lots of additional material. Compact, understandable, consistent. Finally, part III tells us about NDS extensions for a lot of hot products (BorderManager is already in there, so is RADIUS and Oracle), followed by an introduction to third-party utilities. Finally, we have a good treatment on NDS for Windows NT and the book closes with an outlook : "The Future of NDS", where you'll learn that Novell actually built a 2.000.000 user NDS tree once... Why a 9 ? It claims to be the "Complete Guide to Novell Directory Services" - and it comes VERY close.
