NetInfo Planning 33

When a user logs in to the computer, all the user records in the login hierarchy are available

for authenticating the user. NetInfo searches for a user record that contains the user name

entered by the user in the login window, starting with the local domain and proceeding

through the login hierarchy. If a user record that contains the login name is found, the

password in the record is compared with the password entered by the user. If they match,

the user is authenticated. If they don’t match, NetInfo stops searching for a matching user

record, and the user can’t log in.

After a user is authenticated, the user is granted access to the computer, and all the resources

in the login hierarchy are visible to the user. For example, any printer in the login hierarchy is

visible in the Directory Services list in Print Center. And any mount records in the login

hierarchy make directories visible in the user’s Finder window under /Network.

In this example, the folder “homes,” which resides on a computer named computer01, is

visible to the user under /Network.
