If one server on the network hosts a shared directory, all computers on the network
can include the shared directory in their search policies. In this case, Open Directory
looks for user information and other administrative data rst in the local directory
domain. If Open Directory doesn’t nd the information it needs in the local directory
domain, it looks in the shared directory.

their search policy.
